They may well have been stored in a chilled nitrogen atmosphere for
heaven knows how long before being offered for sale.


I reckon a lot of supermarket, and especially Lidl/Aldi, fruit and veg
arrives for sale from cold storage. It's not that good to start with,
and goes off very quickly.

Apart from things like carrots, onions and potato, most of the veg I buy
is frozen.
