Apparently misting veggies like this reduces their life, it’s mostly to make the veggies look more saleable rather than having them last longer (IIUC).

Really? I’ve only seen this practice on the American continent and I’ve always wondered.

These days I get my produce directly to my front door from a farmer. This stuff lasts for at least a week, often much longer. Compared to the produce from supermarkets that seem to rot on the way home already.

Here’s an article on the subject, and yes, it seems the misting is just to trick people into thinking “ooooh, fresh!”
