Discover a simple hack to keep your vegetables fresh for longer using water and a few jars.
Realizing your precious produce has gone bad before you had a chance to use it is beyond frustrating. Luckily, if you have a few jars lying around (or any large glass container, for that matter) and a bit of water, you can virtually mitigate spoilage with this super-simple hack.
