Selecting Fresh Fruits And Vegetables
When you buy fresh fruits and vegetables
buy only quantities you can keep without
waste
The largest sizes aren’t necessanly the
best
Defects may not affect the quality of the
produce, only the appearance
Sometimes the blemish is removed when
the product is prepared.
Avoid handling fruits and vegetables un
less it’s necessary.
A small bruise quickly causes spoilage in
very perishable foods
Wasteful shoppers can create higher total
cost of produce by rough handling
You can select fresh produce
just by sight if you know what
to look for,
To wrap Meat or The Freezer
Here’s a method for wrapping
meat recommended by the
American Meat Institute:
Use enough freezer paper so
the edges can be folded down at
least three times
Place the meat in the center
of the paper.
Separate individual servings
(such as steaks, chops, or
ground meat patties) with sheets
of freezer paper so the meat will
■come apart easily before cook
ing
Bring two edges of paper to
gether above the meat and fold
down in one-half to one-inch
folds until the paper is tight
against the meat.
Press the wrap closely to the
meat to force out air
Seal edges carefully with
freezer tape, or fold over ends
at least twice and tie securely
Mark each meat package to
show content, number of seiv
ings, and date of freezing
Freeze meat quickly and store
at zero degrees temperature or
lower.
