Vegetables can be a diva. The carrot, which was just crunchy, is wrinkled and the celery was also fresher. But the vegetables don’t have to go in the bin. This simple life hack works like a fresh cell cure.
Hardly bought, already drained of juice and power. Sometimes the freshly bought vegetables have the staying power of an aging chain smoker sprinting. And sometimes you buy something and then ignore it for days until it droops unappetizingly and is recommended for the compost. It’s a shame. Not everything that makes a withered impression has to be rotten. A Queensland woman has now gone viral on Facebook with a life hack so simple you’ll want to apologize for any hasty thrown away vegetables afterwards.
“Last night I found an extremely limp cauliflower in our second fridge. It was a few weeks old,” the Australian told a Facebook group dedicated to saving. The single mother did not want to throw away the cabbage, especially since food prices have recently risen sharply in Australia. At that moment she thought of Lady Flo. Florenze Bjelke Petersen was an Australian politician and author, married to Queensland’s longest-serving Prime Minister and a passionate cook. Her know-how in the kitchen, which she was happy to share publicly, contributed significantly to her prominence. Lady Flo also knew how to revitalize limp vegetables.
Soak limp vegetables in water
The tip, which the Australian remembered with the cauliflower in her hand, was almost too simple to be really promising. But she could only win. So she soaked the vegetables in a bowl of water overnight. “I tried it and woke up with fresh cauliflower,” she reported euphorically in the group about the life hack. There, the water trick was just as euphorically shared. Accordingly, soaking also works with other vegetables. Carrots would get crisp again from the bath in the water, as would celery.
