Plastic Bags in Fridge: A Hidden Health Hazard for Your Vegetables!

• Storing vegetables in plastic bags in the fridge traps moisture, creating a humid environment perfect for rapid bacterial and fungal growth, leading to quick spoilage.
• Harmful chemicals like BPA and phthalates from low-quality plastic bags can leach into vegetables, potentially causing hormonal imbalances and digestive issues.
• Vegetables stored in plastic bags lose their natural taste, freshness, and nutritional value, especially green vegetables which lose vitamins due to compression.
• To maintain freshness and health, remove vegetables from plastic bags, air dry them, and store them in cloth or mesh bags instead.
• Leafy greens stay fresh longer when wrapped in paper (if dry), and avoid eating any vegetables that have become soft or developed mold to prevent infections.

Why It Matters: Avoid storing vegetables in plastic bags in the fridge to prevent spoilage, chemical contamination, and nutrient loss.
