Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers)

Store in crisper, plastic bags or plastic container.

Wash, let dry and store in refrigerator in plastic bags or crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until they are ready to use. Sort and keep berries in their original container in a crisper, or store in a loosely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.
