COVID-19 Series / Tips for the Preservation of Fruits and Vegetables to Reduce Food Waste and Improve Shelf-Life
06/04/2020
With physical distancing and reduced shopping trips to supermarkets, buying large quantities of fresh fruits and vegetables becomes difficult, with the risk of them going to waste, during this COVID-19 pandemic. There are, however, simple ways in which fruits and vegetables can be preserved at home to reduce waste.
