You return from the market with a beautiful basket full of fresh vegetables, satisfied with your purchase. But two days later, disappointment strikes: wilted lettuce, limp cucumbers, mushy carrots... Despite all your efforts, the vegetables seem to lose their freshness rapidly.
What if the problem isn't their quality, nor your organization's, but an often-overlooked detail ? Spoiler alert: most people overlook a crucial aspect...
Refrigerator temperature: an underestimated false friend

It's often thought that "the colder, the better ." This is a misconception. A refrigerator that's too cold, or not cold enough, can have the opposite effect: vegetables spoil before they're even cooked .
Why? Because an unsuitable temperature disrupts the natural balance of vegetables:
- Too cold? Vegetables like tomatoes or cucumbers can freeze slightly , changing their texture and flavor .
- Not cold enough? Then bacteria multiply faster and spoil faster.
In short, the right attitude is a bit like good cooking : not too much, not too little.
