    At best I’ve only cleaned them (fruit & veggies) off then refrigerated them (either open air or sometimes in bags), which probably explains a lot. I’d heard/read of freezing before but somehow missed the blanching part of the advice.

      Moisture and temperature control is key to learning how to reduce food spoilage in perishable fruits and vegetables

      I keep mine in my fridge, usually in bags, with paper towels inserted and changed regularly. Paper towels absorb the excess moisture which promotes decay. Usually help extend the life of my veggies, especially leafy greens, for an additional week or so
