We always start fresh every time, given the choice between fresh and tired produce. Who needs dried-out vegetables after all?
Grocers threw away too much dated merchandise before automatic misting systems were introduced. No one likes to waste food, particularly those in the industry. Grocers soaked burlap potato sacks in water as a remedy. They were arrested at night because of their stock. The fruits and vegetables were not drying out because of the wet sacks. They even used this technique to cheeses. Although this nightly job was rewarding, it was labour-intensive. There had to be a better way.
Eventually, there was. In 1979, a new product or two came along that changed how we get our fresh food. The grocery industry was revolutionized by automatic produce misting machines. Although these methods extended the shelf life of fruits and vegetables, they also increased the variety of foods available.
