Refrigerator Crisper Drawers Keep Produce Fresh

HT - Lifestyle · lifestyle

Refrigerator crisper drawers, typically found at the bottom, are designed to control humidity and keep produce fresh for longer. They differ from the main refrigerator area, which circulates dry air. High-humidity settings trap moisture for vegetables that wilt easily, while low-humidity settings release ripening gases like ethylene. Proper use involves separating fruits and vegetables and avoiding overcrowding to prevent spoilage and maintain freshness.
