The quality of your vegetables connot be improved after harvest.
Vegetables should be harvested at proper maturity to provide the best food for
table, freezing and canning.
Vegetables picked at the peak of maturity and prepared promptly and properly
almost always are superior in nutritional content, flavor and appearance -- the
secret is freshness and proper handling.
Be careful in picking or digging the crop to avoid injuring the vegetables. Damage
of any type will lower both keeping and eating quality.
