Keeping Fresh
If you are like me (which is unlikely), you probably large quantities of fruit and notice that some of them tend to go bad by weeks end. This is especially noticeable with small fruits like grapes, strawberries, blueberries and raspberries.
What I have found helps is to wash them when you get home (or at least rinse them), they seem to last until the end of the week without spoiling. (Of course, I have not done any controlled experiments by washing only half of them and then observing what happens, but my sublective opinion is that washing them seems to make them last longer).

hmm.nice tip,ill try it and see the effect.
Have a lovely week ahead:-)
rennyba: as mentioned, this is not a strictly controlled experiment, just my personal, subjective observation.
barbara: obviously eating them before they over ripen is the best option, however, I tend to try to buy for the week. Haven't bought raspberries in a while - I prefer them fresh out of the garden.
freckled-one: I thinkthe washing helps to get rid of some of the dirst and mold or whatever is one them. I don't have problems with big fruit like apples or pears.
vina: yeah, I buy bananas in a variety of ripening stages so they don't all turn black by weeks end.
Wish you well He!He!He!
I agree with you, for that reason I wrote "the most beautiful woman of the world" (entre comillas) because I think beauty is something totally subjective. Nobody has the absolute about what is beautiful or no. What I liked about Maju is that thanx to her crown, Trujillo was in the focus on the entire world.

Kidding...that's a good tip.
matt I suppose JITP (Just In Time Purchasing) can work well, however it has to be weighed against the time required to make the purchase and the convenience. Sofia prefers it that way, but I can't be running to the store each time I want a piece of fruit.
run around paris: had to look up who Rachel Ray was. It seems to work for me
tin-tin: obviously eating up fresh fruit is always better.
MOI: I can empathize with the moldy peaches. They need to be consumed quickly. I suppose washing them (which is more inconvenient than washing a bag of grapes) might have helped. I have never had a problem with cold cuts going slimy - they should be eaten within about 5 days of opening. I always insist on having my cold cuts freshly cut, not taken from the precut pile.
