them, and do not leave them sitting at room temperature.

and root vegetables, peel them, this will double their shelf lives.
► When vacuum seal some vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage fresh
for refrigeration, they will emit gases, so it's need to blanch and freeze these foods
before vacuum sealing.
