In a previous post on this topic, I talked about the plant species that can be used in the kitchen to enhance and refine the flavor, aroma and color of our food, this time I will describe information about plant species that help preserve food.
▶ There are millenary data confirming the fact that plant species can not only be used as essential condiments in the kitchen, but can also help us to preserve food fresh.

Although no one likes to throw away food because it has spoiled and we find ourselves in the painful need to throw it away, in this article the idea is that you know that you can find some plant species that contain substances that will help us to preserve our food for much longer.
Beyond the basic recommendations given to preserve meats, vegetables or fruits in a generally fresh state, such as, for example, the use of the refrigerator, completely closed plastic bags, we can also add substances based on vegetable species.
▶ Among the plant-based substances that can be added to preserve food in a fresh state are lemon, orange and grapefruit fruit acids, as well as apple or grape distillate or vinegar.
