Washing vegetables as well as fruits before consumption can prevent harmful bacteria from getting into the body.
After the meal is over, the leftovers should be kept in the fridge immediately otherwise it can lead to bacterial growth in the food.
One should always use clean and potable water for washing and cooking vegetables. In monsoon, the risk of water contamination is higher.
Avoid having vegetables and fruits cut for a long time and rather, have fresh fruits and vegetables.
Not just in monsoon but one should always have seasonal foods. They have their nutrients and minerals intact.
Storing the food properly is very essential to avoid bacterial growth. Airtight containers are considered ideal.
