Are there any particular green vegetables and/or fruits that are best
stored in a *plastic bag* in the fridge?

Or is the general rule to take them out of all packaging to place in the
fridge? Thanks.

If you have to ask, you're storing them way too long. Buy less, shop
more often, don't worry about how to store vegetables.

I swear by those Debbie Myer Green bags. I have kept romaine for ages
in 'em. I don't wash the item - just take 'em out of their store
wrapper and stick in a green bag and into the crisper drawer. The
bags are reusable after a light rinsing.

I find that lettuces and celery keep better if they are
wrapped in a damp paper towel
and placed in a plastic bag (usually the bag they came in)
in the crisper drawer of the fridge.

Celery will keep for weeks if wrapped in aluminum foil.

That is excellent information to know! That stuff turns to brown
slime way faster than I can ever use it.

You can freeze it or dry it for use in soups and stews

Celery goes to mush on you? The celery I buy must be embalmed.

It takes at least two months for a whole head of celery to reach
slime stage. Cutting off the tops helps.

I'll vouch for that fact. I don't know why it works but my celery sure
does last longer and remain crisp when wrapped in foil.

I keep a tall plastic container filled with water in the frig for
celery, carrots, radishes etc. They will last a long time emersed
in the water, after cleaning of couse.

Yes, because this method shields it from the mind control
rays of the government and keeps the precious vegetative
fluids untainted.

My celery lasts at least 3 weeks without wrapping in anything.
Rarely does it get limp, but I can still use it for plenty of things
at a month old.

Are you bragging or complaining? So, you're being reminded to wrap your
dick in aluminum foil... hey, reynolds wrap must have fewer side effects
than viagra

I store all of my refrigerated vegetables in plastic bags when in the
fridge * celery, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans come to
mind. I store mushrooms loosely covered.

I put mine in a paper bag and then a plastic bag. The plastic bag
keeps them from drying out, and the paper bag allows the veggies a
little free airflow to keep them from getting grossed out from being
night next to impervious to air plastic.
