4 hours ago, Smithy said:I learned -- and this was news to me but maybe it won't be for those of you who routinely live in hot climates -- that even a few hours of lying on the counter is enough to start wilting herbs, leafy greens, and even carrots!
Indeed. I live about 10 minutes drive north of the Tropic of Cancer - I used to cross it every day driving to work back in the day I did anything so undignified as work. The line is marked on the expressway. So, I believe that counts as 'hot climate'.
All vegetation is kept in the fridge (except tomatoes - I'm not a complete philistine) or dies rapidly. It's not a big problem for people here; most only purchase what they will use that day. Chinese fridges are usually fairly empty.
