Kitchen Tip: Fresh Produce
Find out how long fresh fruit lasts and which boasts the best staying power.
Good news if you don't always eat your fruits and veggies the same day you buy them: A short delay probably won't cause you to miss out on key nutrients. A study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that most produce maintains its antioxidants for several days on the kitchen counter or in the crisper. In fact, most fruits and veggies (with the exception of bananas and broccoli) will spoil before they start to lose antixidants! Black grapes, strawberries, plums, cherries and peppers have especially good staying power.
