1. Keep vegetables in the fridge for 7 to 12 days.

蔬菜在冰箱里可储存7到12天

Different vegetables spoil at different rates, and knowing approximate times can help you to make sure you use them before the vegetables go bad. Remember when you purchased the vegetables and keep a note on how long they have been in your fridge.

不同蔬菜变质的速度不同，了解蔬菜的保鲜时间，才能保证自己不吃变质蔬菜。记住你购买蔬菜的时间并留意它们在冰箱里储存了多久。

2. Keep vegetables with other, similar vegetables.

把同类蔬菜存放在一起

If you keep your vegetables in bags in your refrigerator, do not mix the types of vegetables inside of a single bag. If you do not use bags, keep types of vegetables—like root vegetables, leafy greens, cruciferous (like broccoli or cauliflower), marrow (zucchini, cucumber), legume vegetables (green beans, fresh peas)—together.

如果你将蔬菜装袋后放进冰箱，不要在同一个袋子里放不同种类的蔬菜。如果你不用袋子装蔬菜，应该把相同类型的蔬菜放在一起，比如按照根茎类、绿叶类、十字花科(比如西兰花或菜花)、瓜类(西葫芦、黄瓜)、豆类(青豆、豌豆)分别存放。

3. Separate vegetables that wilt from those that rot with humidity drawers.

将容易干枯的蔬菜和容易腐烂的蔬菜放在湿度不同的隔层里

Most fridges have a high-humidity drawer and a low-humidity drawer with settings that allow you to control the humidity levels. Most vegetables belong in the high humidity drawer because they begin to wilt otherwise. This drawer locks in moisture without allowing the veggies to become excessively damp.

多数冰箱都有可以调节湿度的高湿度抽屉和低湿度抽屉。蔬菜大多适合放在高湿度抽屉里，否则就会干枯。这种抽屉会锁住湿度，又不会让蔬菜太潮湿。

The low-humidity drawer will mostly contain fruits, but some vegetables like tomatoes and potatoes can be kept in here.

低湿度抽屉基本上都用来放水果，但是西红柿和土豆等蔬菜也可以放在这里面。

4. Store leafy greens like lettuce and spinach by keeping them dry and contained.

莴苣和菠菜等绿叶菜要保持干燥并密封好再放冰箱

Rinse the leaves off before to remove any bacteria that could lead to spoiling. Let them dry completely before storing in the fridge. Loose leafy greens should be wrapped in a paper towel and placed into a sealed bag or container.

在洗去可能导致变质的任何细菌后应该将绿叶菜沥干水分。绿叶菜完全干燥后才能放进冰箱。散装绿叶菜应该用厚纸巾包裹起来再放进密封的袋子或盒子里。

5. Trim asparagus and then wrap in a damp paper towel.

把芦笋的尾部切掉并用湿纸巾裹好

Place in an airtight container away from other vegetables that could come into contact with the moisture.

将芦笋这样处理后放入密封包装盒里，因为有湿气，所以要远离其他蔬菜。

6. Keep root vegetables like winter squashes, onions, or mushrooms in a cool, dark place.

将冬瓜、洋葱或蘑菇等根茎类蔬菜放在阴暗凉爽处

These do not need to be refrigerated. Make sure they stay dry and out of direct sunlight, as this could allow bacteria or mold growth.

这些蔬菜不需要放在冰箱里。确保它们保持干燥，不受日光直射，否则会滋生细菌或发霉。

7. Keep your vegetables away from ethylene-producing produce.

蔬菜要远离会释放乙烯的农产品

Some vegetables and many fruits produce ethylene gas, which can cause many other vegetables to spoil more quickly, though some are unaffected. Store ethylene-sensitive vegetables away from etylene-producing ones.

一些蔬菜和许多水果都会释放乙烯气体，这种气体会导致许多其他蔬菜更快变质，但也有一些蔬菜不受影响。不要把对乙烯敏感的蔬菜和会释放乙烯的农产品存放在一起。

Ethylene-producing fruits and vegetables include apples, avocados, bananas, peaches, pears, peppers, and tomatoes.

会释放乙烯的果蔬包括苹果、牛油果、香蕉、桃子、梨、辣椒和西红柿。

Ethylene-sensitive vegetables include asparagus, broccoli, cucumber, eggplant, lettuce, peppers, squashes, and zucchini.

对乙烯敏感的蔬菜包括芦笋、西兰花、黄瓜、茄子、莴苣、辣椒、南瓜和西葫芦。

8. Wash and completely dry veggies before placing them in the fridge.

清洗蔬菜，待其完全干燥后再放入冰箱。

Washing removes bacteria and other contaminants from the surface of the vegetable. Lay vegetables out on a paper towel or the counter to dry. Before you place them into storage, however, make sure they are completely dry so that excess moisture doesn't allow the vegetable to begin to spoil.

清洗蔬菜可以去除蔬菜表面的细菌和其他污染物。将蔬菜放在纸巾或灶台上风干。在放入冰箱前，确保蔬菜完全干燥，避免湿度过高导致蔬菜变质。
