3 Reasons Your Food Spoils Faster (Even in Abeego)

We know how frustrating it is when your produce doesn’t stay fresh as long as you’d hoped, even with Abeego! Sometimes, hidden factors—beyond our control—are the culprits.

Here are three surprising reasons your food may spoil faster, even when stored in Abeego:

1. Your Fridge Is TOO Cold

Yes, it was an inside job! Your fridge might be the enemy here. If it is too cold, it can sabotage the food's freshness. High-water-content veggies like cucumbers, peppers, and onions freeze easily, breaking down their delicate cell walls. When they thaw, they become mushy—far from the fresh, crisp bite you were hoping for. To avoid this, aim for an ideal fridge temperature or try keeping high-water items near the top, where it’s naturally warmer.

2. Your Fridge Needs a Deep Clean

A fridge harboring hidden mold spores is a freshness nightmare. These spores latch onto living food, quickly turning vibrant produce into wilted waste. A regular deep clean can make all the difference, providing a cleaner environment for your food to thrive. After all, no one wants their lettuce living in a haunted fridge!

3. Your Produce Was Already on Its Last Legs

Abeego works wonders but can’t revive produce that’s already past its prime. If your produce was bruised, overly damp, or nearing its end when it arrived, it won’t have a long life. Pat down excess moisture, remove dying leaves or spoiled spots, and release tight bands to give your produce the best possible start in Abeego. Because even Abeego is not a produce time machine!
