Easy Hack to Keep Veggies Fresh for up to 16 Days
Summer goodies go bad extremely fast, but there is a solution
Keeping freshness is key in preserving flavour and texture
Everybody loves a freshly picked salad on hot summer days. But nobody likes vegetables that go squishy, overripe, or even mouldy just a few days after a trip to the supermarket.
But hold on – a series of other problems emerge besides a ruined evening meal. For example, massive food waste: according to Waste Managed 2023 Statistics, 170,000 tonnes of salads are wasted in the UK each year, which harms the environment.
People are losing time & money, too: buying food that goes bad quickly and making more trips to the supermarket. And with UK food inflation still at high levels (17.4% annual rate in June), the rising prices quickly eat up the savings of Britons.
One solution is storage containers that preserve the vegetable flavour, texture, and freshness. Some of them can keep vegetables fresh for 16 days, and plenty of people are reducing daily food waste, saving money, and enjoying healthy dinners with their families.
The Express interviewed storage experts at Tupperware, who introduced a brand new food storage container called FridgeSmart.
A science-backed method to achieve freshness
Tupperware is no stranger to the food storage industry, as the brand has been around for 75 years. The storage experts are working with top food scientists from the University of Florida to design efficient storage methods. Here’s what the Tupperware's creators had to say.
“Each FridgeSmart container has an easy-read diagram printed directly on the container showing which vent setting to use for different common fruits and vegetables.
The Tupperware containers divide fruits and vegetables into different categories: high breathers, medium breathers, and low breathers, depending on how much air the item needs. For example, lettuce is classed as medium breathers; for this, you slide the vent switch to the half-open side (indicated by the half-moon symbol)“.

FridgeSmart keeps veggies fresh for up to 16 days, almost twice as long
What’s the secret behind the container’s ability to hold freshness for longer? Tupperware’s advanced ACE™ (Atmosphere Controlled Environment) technology.
“The FridgeSmart system regulates moisture levels to keep your food fresher for longer, so just wash when you're ready to eat,” the experts advised.
The ACE™ system sets up FridgeSmart apart its alternatives. For example, mason jars or fridge drawers are not airtight, meaning your veggies get spoiled quickly.
But FRIDGESMART® is different in many other ways.
The containers were designed with quality and durability in mind. FridgeSmarts last for 10 years and are made from 100% BPA-free plastic, avoiding any artificial chemicals from its production. It also means they are less prone to scratching or breaking unlike glass containers.
FridgeSmart received plenty of rave reviews on Amazon, with an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars.

How FRIDGESMART® works
How exactly does FRIDGESMART® work and what sets it apart?
Most food containers take the ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach, where all vegetables are kept in the same conditions. The problem, however, is that lettuce and other veggies need different oxygen inflows to stay fresh. The FRIDGESMART® ACE™ technology sets tailored ventilation to keep all your veggies fresh.
Store
Adding lettuce or other salad veggies inside the FridgeSmart is recommended with no washing beforehand due to excess moisture.
Set Up
Setting a venting option on the lid regulates the oxygen flow for different veggies. A handy chart on the side enables an easy set-up.
Fresh
The ACE technology keeps lettuce and other veggies fresh, crisp and flavourful for up to 16 days or twice as long.
What also makes FRIDGESMART® outstanding is that its materials contain zero chemicals and are 100% BPA-free. Tupperware uses quality materials in all its containers to ensure food can be stored in healthy conditions.
