Healthy & Fresh, Fruits & Vegetables For You
We all heard of the term, one apple a day keeps the doctor away and that is very true, fresh fruits and vegetables provide essential nutrients needed for good nutrition and energy production, they also contain fiber, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that promote digestive health and boost immunity. The health benefits of fruits and vegetables include improved immune system function, lowered risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.
With our busy lifestyle it is hard to shop for fresh fruits and fresh vegetables daily, but you can do that every couple of days from the comfort of your own house with Carrefour online shopping in UAE.
A common misconception is that fruits and vegetables should only be consumed after cooking, like boiling some celery for soup with chilli or baking eggplants with tomatoes. In reality, they can be eaten raw or cooked at any time of day.
Shopping Fresh Fruits & Vegetables Tips
- When buying fresh food, choose smaller packages with fewer ingredients. That way, you'll get more bang for your buck. Plus, packing an entire bag of veggies into your lunch box forces you to limit its size.
- Do not buy too many products that ripen quickly like mango, figs, guava and avocados as it will be hard to keep them fresh on the long term, and for items that do not ripen quickly like dates and watermelon, you can buy them in bulk.
How To Keep Fruits & Vegetables Fresh?
To extend their shelf life, store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Keep them away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, humidity, and odors. Also, try freezing them for even longer storage, or freeze them in a zip-top bag before placing them into freezer bags.
