There are many less fresh goods among the poisonously expensive fruits
Since last year, the prices of vegetables and fruits have risen brutally, so it is very worthwhile to pay attention to the freshness of the products we buy in the store. At current prices, nobody wants expensive vegetables and fruits to rot in the fridge. However, there is no need to panic if something has become moldy: it is enough to throw away the spoiled food, and with some care, the rest can be saved from going to waste. We have now collected tips on how to decide whether a vegetable or fruit is still edible, if it might no longer look the freshest.

One bad apple can spoil the rest, but it takes time
It probably didn’t escape anyone’s attention how much more expensive shopping in Hungary became in 2022: in August of this year, everything cost an average of 15.6% more than a year earlier. In addition, we can experience much higher inflation in the case of basic foodstuffs: here prices have risen by an average of 30%, of which vegetables and fruits stand out in particular. And it is almost impossible to protect yourself against such an increase in prices, other than to watch the sales and shop as consciously as possible, so that nothing of what you bought accidentally ends up in the trash.
In addition, autumn came earlier than usual this year, and during the cool, rainy season it is especially important to consume enough vitamins, the most obvious way of which is to eat enough vegetables and fruits. The problem with this, however, is that these are the ones that have risen in price the most, and now they cost 20-30-40% more than last year. If we don’t want to spend unnecessary fortunes on these in the fall, it’s not only worth paying attention to what kind of vegetables and fruits we buy in the store, but also how to store them and how long they last. Now, based on the Huffpost article, we have collected some useful tips on how to decide which vegetables and fruits can still be eaten, so that only the ones that really have to go to the trash can.
Of course, no one is happy when something gets moldy in their fridge or starts to rot, but that doesn’t mean that the whole bag or box of fruit has to fly. Just because one browning grape or pepper touched the others, it is not at all certain that everything has become inedible.
