Tips to Keep vegetables Fresh
from: YokesKeeping Cauliflower White. Want to keep cauliflower white while cooking? Add a little milk to the water.
Keeping Celery Crisp. The best way to store fresh celery is to wrap it in aluminum foil and put it in the refrigerator—it will keep for weeks.
Keeping the Flavor in Vegetables. When cooking carrots, peas, beets or corn, add a small amount of sugar to the water to keep the flavor.
Keeping Your Sweet Corn Yellow. To keep sweet corn yellow, add one teaspoon of lemon juice to the cooking water just about a minute before taking off the stove. Never salt the water you cook corn in. It will only toughen the corn.
Liven Up With Some Lime. A fresh lime is the perfect way to add a little zing to your Cinco de Mayo. To help get the juice of a lime to flow, just pop it in the microwave for a few seconds or press and roll it firmly on a countertop.
Magnificent Melons. When choosing a melon, smell it for freshness and ripeness. Check to see that the fruit is heavy in weight and that the spot on the end where it has been plucked from the vine is soft.
Making the Most of Lettuce. To get the most out of a head of lettuce, tear the leaves by hand instead of cutting with a knife. Cutting lettuce is more likely to turn the edges brown faster, but if you have to use a knife, be sure it's stainless steel.
No More Brown Avocados. To avoid the browning of avocado flesh when exposed to air, try adding a little lime juice—and the seed itself—in with the peeled fruit.
No More Budding Potatoes. To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
No More Mushy Mushrooms. Mushrooms should be wiped off with a damp cloth and not washed under the faucet since they are like sponges and will absorb the water.
Nurturing Your Nectarines. Nectarines are a refreshing snack. It's best to store nectarines at room temperature until they're fully ripe. Then, keep them in the refrigerator for no more than a couple of days. Nectarines stored longer in the refrigerator may lose their juicy flavor.
Perfect Peppers to Roast. When buying fresh peppers to roast, choose those that are a little wrinkled but still unblemished. Wrinkling indicates maturity (mellowness).
Roasting Garlic. Try this for roasting garlic: sprinkle the bulb with a little olive oil and white wine, salt and pepper, then wrap it in tin foil and roast in a 350-degree oven for approximately one hour.
Saving Soggy Lettuce. Perk up soggy lettuce! Add lemon juice to a bowl of cold water and soak lettuce for an hour in the refrigerator.
Spice up Your Strawberries. When cooking any kind of strawberry dessert, add a splash of aged balsamic vinegar to the recipe to enhance the flavor of the strawberries.
Storing Celery and Lettuce. Store celery and lettuce in paper bags, not plastic. And leave the outside leaves and stalks alone until ready to use.
When You Only Need Half an Onion.... If you need only half of an onion, save the root half. It will last longer.
