Question:
Do you keep the tops on root vegetables during storage in the refrigerator? Or, would it be better to take them off and store them until time to use?

Answer:
The greens are probably going to draw moisture off of your root. as they willed And those greens are going to wilt a lot faster because greens are not meant to keep right and the root is meant to serve the needs of the greens. To some extent so I would say yes separate them in the fridge and keep them and you can keep them together but separated would probably give you a little bit more time. I don't know anybody that sellers root vegetables with their top Zone if that tells you anything mostly because the greens would go bad before the root Edgewood and I imagine that they would have some impact on each other. So there you go. Not a scientific answer anecdotal and guesstimation, but I think probably accurate. Yeah, maybe thanks. Appreciate you. All right.
