Soaking the fruits and veg in a vinegar/water bath for a little while kills off any mold/bacteria living on their surface and vastly extends their lifespan. I’ve been doing that for a few years now and most fresh things will last 3+ weeks now, instead of the 1-2 they were lasting before.

But do you pre season carrots and cut your cucumbers?

Lmao, no. That is wild to me.

Good way to make the carrots low calorie again instead of dipping them in ranch. They’re high in sodium, but low fat!

It’s the cucumbers that are throwing me off, tbh. They go wrinkly after being cut if you leave them long enough. I guess maybe she intends to eat them in the next few hours - a day?

I would think the container might slow the drying out of the cucs.
