Question

Why is it a good idea to poke holes in the plastic bags containing vegetables?

Answer 1

Nancy bought packed vegetables from the supermarket. Before storing them, she poked holes in the packets to allow airflow

Answer 2

When we buy vegetables from the supermarket, though some people pack them in airtight bags or zip locks to keep the air from the vegetables, it is not a good idea. Vegetables need air and space. Thus, poking holes in the packets of vegetables is a good way to keep them fresh longer, Poking holes allow air to enter into the bag and provide air and breathing room for the vegetables.
