Does it bother you that fruit looks spoiled as soon as you get home from the supermarket? You’re not alone. Fortunately, there is a very effective preservation method that will extend its shelf life, prevent waste, and save you money.
Step-by-Step Preservation Method
1. Remove the plastic packaging
First, remove the packaging it came in from the store.
2. Prepare a cleaning bath
Fill a large container or the sink with water.
Add 2 tablespoons of distilled vinegar.
Soak the fruit for 10–15 minutes.
This helps eliminate bacteria and mold that accelerate decay.
3. Rinse and dry
Remove the fruit from the water.
Rinse well under cold water to remove the vinegar.
Dry with a paper towel or a clean cloth.
4. Pack in glass jars
Once the fruit is completely dry, store it in glass jars with tight-fitting lids. This step is key to:
Protecting it from ambient humidity.
Preventing mold (especially in berries).
Prolonging its freshness for months (some fruits can last up to 2 years dehydrated).
