Yes. This is what I do. Plastic seems to rot veggies faster.

Then keep them damp and veggies and fruit stay crisp. Even cilantro and parsley stay fresh. This works even if not refrigerated. Just keep the towel damp.

I don’t know how to cook (although we try and eat a clean diet) and now we are forced to learn how to cook and have a pantry! Your posts have been invaluable. Off to prep your baked oatmeal for tomorrow! Kathryn

Hi Shane, you can do that (change the water daily) – personally, I’ve have had my herbs last longer in a bag in the veggie drawer.

I usually keep them in separate bowls on the countertop.
