Storage
Vegetables can be stored in a cool, dry, place such as the pantry or cupboard. If you wish to preserve your veg a little longer, put them in the fridge. It also helps not to wash your veg until you’re ready to eat it.
Your veg is already much fresher than supermarkets so it should last until your next delivery!

 | BerriesBerries can go mouldy within 24 hours even when refrigerated. However, we have a great tip for preventing this! Put your berries in hot water (at about 125 degrees) and stir them for 30 seconds, then spread them out on a towel to allow them to breath and dry off. This technique will kill off the mould spores and keep your berries scrumptious and fur-free for longer! |
 | Leafy GreensIf you find that your leafy greens have wilted then shake them in ice water for a couple of minutes. Tadaaa...your green leaves are now revived! To make them last longer than the normal 48 hour life span of fresh greens, wrap the individual leaves in paper towel, which will absorb excess moisture to prevent them from rotting, put them in plastic bags and store them in the fridge. |
 | BananasWe send our bananas out relatively green so that you can ripen them at your own pace. It’s so simple; to ripen your bananas quickly you just keep them in the brown bag and to slow down the ripening process just take them out of the brown bag! To keep them ripe for as long as possible (once they have turned from green to yellow) pop them in the fridge, you will notice that the skins turn brown or black quickly but the banana inside stays perfect! However, you may be put off by the colour of the skin so keep them sealed in a plastic bag in the fridge and the skin won’t go as black! |
 | PeachesPeaches & Nectarines are firm until they are ripe, you should ripen them at room temperature and then they can be kept in the fridge once they are ready. You should then eat them within a few days; otherwise they will start to lose their flavour in the fridge. |
 | CherriesYou should keep cherries cold, pop them in a plastic bag and store them in the fridge. Try not to wash them until you take them out of the fridge to eat them because excess moisture will speed up the process of moulding where the stem meets the fruit. You should also keep melons in the fridge but take them out half an hour before eating them, as they are best served at room temperature. |
 | ApplesApples are often kept at room temperature, but during the warmer summer months they will keep better in the fridge. Place them in a container (excluding any apples that look questionable, as they can spoil the rest) without a lid but with a damp paper towel draped over instead. The cold temperature in the fridge combined with the moisture from the damp paper towel will keep them fresher for a longer! |
 | Broccoli Don’t let your broccoli go soft or your celery go limp! Wrap them in tin foil and store them in the fridge to keep them crisp for as long as possible! |
