Buying fruits and vegetables frozen is one way to make them last longer.

They can stay in your freezer for months at a time.

If you still prefer to buy fresh, it’s important to consider the types of fruits and vegetables.

For example, bananas, berries and asparagus are known to rot quickly. Meanwhile, apples, oranges and sweet potatoes have a longer shelf life.

How you store them matters too. A dietician said that moisture is what leads to spoilage.

For example, with strawberries, if there is just one or two berries that are going bad, people should remove them. Even ones that are slightly spoiled will emit spores. The rest should be perfectly fine.
