You’ve probably had the experience of buying barely ripe fruits and vegetables that seem to go bad in what seems like a blink of the eye. Truth be told, you left them out to ripen in a not-so obvious place in the kitchen or they were misplaced in your fridge thanks to your children hurriedly looking for snacks. At 23 cubic feet (cu. ft.), the Flex TM refrigerator line has enough room to chill 23 bags of groceries, so preserving and storing your fresh produce just got immensely easier. This lifesaver of an appliance will help ensure that you’re no longer filling your compost bin to capacity every other day with fruits and vegetables you purchased this week. Here’s some guidelines to help you preserve fruits and vegetables in an awe-inspiring Samsung Refrigerator.
Separate Fruits from Vegetables
Fruits and veggies are necessary for a balanced diet, but they don’t mix well when they share a drawer in your refrigerator. Fruits emit ethylene gas which helps them to ripen. Ethylene causes sensitive vegetables like cauliflower, squash, and leafy greens to spoil. By placing your fruit from vegetables in separate humidity-controlled drawers of your Samsung refrigerator, you ensure that the fresh produce you’ve stocked it with will stay fresh until you are ready to consume them.
Humidity Controlled Crisper Drawers
Fruit requires a higher humidity setting to keep them fresh and crisp for your enjoyment. Veggies are at the end of the spectrum, needing lower humidity settings to prevent your carrots and celery from wilting.
Store them Smartly
After returning from a grocery run, you’re exhausted, starving and in a rush to make dinner - you usually shove your produce in your refrigerator wherever it fits, telling yourself that you will “deal with it later”. Of course, you forget or get too busy doing other things. FlexZone TM from Samsung is a versatile, bottom-right door that can be either a fridge or a freezer depending on your needs. Keeping it clear for grocery runs makes the task of organizing your fridge space easier. Here are a few extra things to do to keep your produce fresher for a longer period of time:
- Remove ties and rubber bands
- Cut off leafy ends
- Poke holes in plastic for airflow
Use the Triple Cooling System
The premium cooling system keeps your produce fresher longer with two compressors and three evaporators and are an industry first among consumer grade refrigerators. Precision temperature and humidity controls in all three zones let you manage the correct settings for whatever you are keeping fresh within. Lacking fridge space? Want to avoid your produce going bad too soon? With a large storage capacity and special temperature features, Samsung refrigerators can provide a solution.
