Heat, light, air and humidity all sap the nutrients out of produce. Vitamin C and vitamin B are water-soluble nutrients, and that makes them much more vulnerable and when in contact with excess moisture, they essentially evaporate from food. Vitamins such as A, D and E hold up longer. You can help your produce keep its nutritional value by keeping your fridge at or below 40 degrees and eating fruits and veggies within six days.
