Tip # 1 – Keeping Foods Fresh

Purchase fruits and vegetables right before your trip.

Select the freshest without any bruising or discoloration.

Wash produce just before use, not when purchased.

Keep the food dry and out of the full sun, move to shade whenever possible.

Check the produce everyday for moisture and condensation. If it does become damp, dry off, check for bad spots and repackage the dry undamaged produce.

The saying, “it only take one bad apple to spoil the whole barrel” holds true.

Produce will keep in hot weather without being under ice, but it will need more attention. It is surprising how long produce will last in cooler weather (75 degrees and less) if you follow the tips above.
