Rules for Storing Vegetables

1. Refrigerate most vegetables.

2. Keep most vegetables dry during storage or they will spoil faster.

3. Root and tubers should be stored dry and unpeeled in a cool, dark area.

Rules for Storing Vegetables

4. Refrigerate ripened produce to slow down spoilage.

5. Never refrigerate potatoes, tomatoes.

6. Vegetables emit gas that causes fruits to ripen so store separately.

Checking for doneness

•Cooks use both appearance and texture to test whether or not a vegetable is cooked.

•White and orange vegetables show very little change in their color, so check texture to determine doneness.

•Cooking green vegetables for too long will cause the natural acids present in vegetables to turn them yellow-brown.•Color changes occur after about seven minutes of heat.

Checking for donenesswith appearance and texture.
