Polyethylene (plastic) boxes for vegetables are very popular not only among sellers in markets and shops, but also in people with whom this way of storing vegetables at home or in an apartment seems to be the most optimal.
And in fact, plastic boxes for vegetables are quite practical. Products in them are well preserved due to the presence of ventilation holes. In addition, they are lightweight, do not exude odor, are completely hygienic, environmentally friendly, durable and durable.
Advantages of boxes for vegetables from plastic
Earlier, wooden boxes were used for transportation and storage of fruits and vegetables. However, this material is far from ideal, especially for perishable products. As is known, wood is rotted, so that over time, the boxes become fragile. In addition, black mold is very harmful to health.
With the development of technology, a new kind of container for storing vegetables appeared on the market - a plastic box. It meets all the requirements and is more practical and durable, rather than a wooden analog.
Additional advantages of plastic boxes are:
- a wide variety of colors, which makes the sorting of vegetables convenient;
- such a box is easier to wash without using any special tools;
- it is easy and does not complicate the process of transferring vegetables from the cellar to the kitchen or vice versa;
- The air passes through the grate well, and the vegetables are stored longer.
Box for storing vegetables in the kitchen
For more convenience, you can get a vegetable box-pedestal for vegetables. Such boxes come in different configurations and sizes. But in any case, they allow compact and convenient storage of vegetables in the kitchen. Now you have everything and are always at hand, at the same time hidden from the eyes.
If desired, you can make a cabinet with plastic boxes for vegetables yourself. It does not require complex materials and special skills. You can use the existing kitchen furniture, slightly remaking it
As an option - you can install an outgoing plastic box under the refrigerator in a specially designed niche. This saves a place and you will get an additional place for storing vegetables. Of course, such arrangement of kitchen space is available only with small dimensions of the refrigerator, because if it already almost reaches the ceiling, then the box under it is unlikely to fit. But with a low refrigerator it is quite possible to afford to equip a half-meter tall box-box in which the vegetables will sit comfortably.
