I'll admit though, it takes time. There's the planning of my meals, shopping and then washing and cutting the veggies. But, when you work all day and come home to find your carrots neatly cut and ready to toss in your dish - that just makes me smile!

How do you store the cut vegetables for the week? Do you take any precautions to prevent the vegetable from turning?
ReplyDeleteGood question Sue! I first wash everything in food grade hydrogen peroxide, then cut and store in ziploc bags or glass containers. Even veggies that have been cut on Sunday are still perfectly crisp on the following Sat. The H2O2 is microbial and prevents any bacterial growth. I've had lettuce and berries stay fresh for weeks with the use of this stuff! I also use the H2O2 for cleaning counters, showers, toothbrushes after someone is sick, laundry and pretty much anything that needs to be cleaned without the use of chemicals. http://www.pureh2o2forhealth.net/
ReplyDeleteIt may seem expensive by the gallon, but you must dilute it to handle it, so a little goes a long way. It's kind of a miracle product!
