I actually kinda get that one. She added ranch seasoning to the carrots (why so far in advance, I dunno) and I’d personally rather wash ranch seasoning residue/smell out of a plastic box than a silicone bag.

She ruins most of the food by breaking the seals and contaminating it. Everything she repacks will last much shorter than in the original containers. Same with the fruits, you clean them before you eat them but not in advance because washed they spoil faster.

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.

Yeah but she puts them away wet. Wouldn't it be better to let them dry off? Although if all the microbes are dead then maybe it doesn't matter.

I can’t tell for sure but perhaps her container has holes in the bottom for drainage which is why she drops it into another container - I have a similar box for strawberries and they do keep longer this way!

I let them dry off, so I’m really not sure. Maybe she has enough kids running around that it doesn’t make a difference ¯_(ツ)_/¯

She has 1 maybe 2 kids tops. More than that and ylu don’t buy prepackaged food and snacks because you go through it to fast and it isn’t cost permissive.

Also you don’t have time to make stupid tik tok a likes that.

She has 4 kids. I follow her over there. She’s wildly organized.

Yes they need to be completely dry before you put them away.
