    Sure, but vegetables that only last a day or two has also never really been a thing for most vegetables we eat. Is there any Western country where people have to buy fresh vegetables every day?

      Yes, in most of Europe. The fruit is also smaller because it’s mostly untreated. But it also tastes better.

        Really? People have to buy fresh vegetables and fruit every single day in Europe?

        I don’t believe you. Especially since I’ve been there. Also, I know how plants and agriculture work.

        Seriously, have none of you ever grown your own vegetables?

      I live in the Netherlands and I buy fresh produce four or five times a week. Freshness wise it depends on the fruit or vegetable. I wouldn’t say most things only last two days but it’s not like it’s gonna last ages, especially after it’s been opened/started.

        What vegetables do you have that last less than a week and how are you storing them?
