Some foods truly shine when enjoyed fresh when it comes to flavor, texture, and nutrition. Fresh ingredients enhance the taste of your meals and support a healthy diet by retaining their natural vitamins and minerals.
Leafy greens like spinach, kale, and lettuce are best enjoyed fresh because they tend to lose their crispness and nutrients quickly.
Soft fish like tilapia, salmon, and flounder are delicate and spoil faster than other meats. For the best flavor, try to use fresh fish within a day or two of purchase.
Avocados have a small window of ripeness, making them best enjoyed fresh. If you have a ripe avocado but aren’t ready to eat it, you can store it in the fridge to slow the ripening process.
