How to pick fresh vegetables every day

Fresh vegetables simply taste better and keep more of their vitamins and minerals. Here are a few signs that help you choose well right at the stand.

Look at color and firmness

Leafy greens should have a natural green color with no yellowing or bruising. Roots and fruit should feel firm with smooth, taut skin and no dark spots.

Smell and touch

• A natural, fresh scent — never sour or sharp.
• A dry surface, not slimy.
• Stems that are still crisp, not dried out.

Store it right

Trim off any damaged parts, wrap in paper, place in a bag, and keep it in the crisper drawer of your fridge. This keeps produce fresh for a few extra days.
