After discovering how useful a Vegetable Rack is, it was truly life changing.  I am known among my friends as the Vegetable Rack giver, because if you are my friend and I have not given you a Vegetable Rack as a present yet, you better believe that I will be at your door with one soon.  Before getting a Vegetable Rack, I used to store my fruits and veggies in the fridge or sometimes on my counter.  But now it is like I have an entirely new kitchen with extra counter space and my fruits and vegetables ripen more naturally as well with my Vegetable Rack.  Plus, by no longer storing my produce in the fridge, it is actually lasting longer.  Fruits and veggies go bad faster in the fridge because of the moisture and condensation that builds up.  One little tip, if you do store your produce in the fridge, always keep it in the fruit and vegetables bins and make sure to take them out of the plastic bags that you get at the grocery store.

Vegetable Rack Types:

1. Vegetable Rack – Hanging

The beauty of a hanging Vegetable Rack is that you will have extra counter space.  When selecting a Vegetable Rack, look for one with multiple tiers so that you will have more space.  Certain fruits and vegetables need to be kept in a separate tier from other produce.  For example, onions should never be stored next to potatoes because as the onions begin to go bad, they will produce moisture which will make the potatoes go bad.

2. Vegetable Rack – Standing

One of my friends lives in California, and she said that she prefers a standing Vegetable Rack because if there is an earthquake, she does not like to have things hanging from her walls or the ceiling.  For her, I found a beautiful stainless steel Vegetable Rack that stands on floor.  Therefore, she still had extra counter space after using the Vegetable Rack, even though it did not hang on the wall or ceiling.

Vegetable Rack – Location

So now that you have a Vegetable Rack, what is the best place to put it?  The best spot for a Vegetable Rack is somewhere that is fairly cool and dry.  You want to avoid direct sunlight or heat, because this will make your fruit and vegetables ripen and spoil faster.  However, if you have a Vegetable Rack on wheels, then you can wheel it to be in sunlight if you are trying to ripen your fruits and vegetables faster.
