It’s true that vegetables really do go bad faster when you’re the one buying them. No, but really. There are specific times for vegetables to be stored in your fridge. There are actually shorter time limits for refrigerated food than you’d think. Following these guidelines will help prevent your food from spoiling or becoming dangerous to eat.
While it’s important to consider the lifespan of your refrigerated food, it’s also important to note that frozen foods stored at 0°F can be kept indefinitely. Here are some common food items and their storage times in your fridge!
