Do not wash any vegetables before storage

It may seem weird, but the washing of the veggies sometimes loses the protection against the mold fungus that infiltrates that same root vegetables. If you are using a dry cloth, just wipe it off.
Moisture will stimulate the bacteria to grow so to help dry the environment you should put the tissue in the fruit box or vegetable bag to absorb the moisture content of vegetables.
This is a great tip to protect vegetables.
