Fresh produce has various needs, including air circulation, that a sealed jar won’t provide.
For two of these types of produce, glass jar storage can be helpful. But not for the other two. You’ve probably seen them: Images of clear glass canning jars filled with multicolored berries that look like little jewels. Asparagus stalks, plunked into a glass-turned-vase that doubles as a charming centerpiece.
After keeping produce cool, there’s a delicate dance between storing it in ways that enable it to breathe, but retain moisture, among other factors . The crisper drawer is designed to help with this, but it’s a tough puzzle, which explains why we’re so hungry for hacks.Use this trick to keep veggie sticks attractive and crunchy, but not to stretch shelf life.
This mirrors an industry practice of packing asparagus upright, with a wet pad at the bottom, said Mark Ritenour, a postharvest biologist at the University of Florida. The moisture fuels their thirsty, growing tissue and prevents shriveling.If you create an “asparagus vase” at home, Ritenour suggests using a minimal amount of water for only a few days, citing, you guessed it, concerns about microbes flourishing in the water. He also advises cutting off the wet ends before prepping them.
