How to store sliced vegetables to lock in nutrients and prolong life?
stargal asked:
Hey, I have been trying to eat healthy but don’t have a lot of time on my hands. I make subway type sandwiches with turkey and veggies. I was wondering if it’s okay to slice vegetables before hand and store them in airtight containers in my refrigerator. Would this cause the veggies to lose their nutrients? How can I ensure that they last 3 or more days without losing their nutrients after being sliced? Will appreciate your help. Thanks

Actually you are doing the right thing, make sure to dry up the water then it will last more than a week without loosing the nutrition value. Hooray eat smartly and stay healthily. bb881
Tupperware has a set of bowls especially for this. It has ridges at the bottom to keep it moisture free and it doubles the life of fruits and vegetables. Go to tupperware.com if you don’t know anyone that sells it. This set is awesome. I’ve been having mine for about 7 yrs. smt12
