There are two answers to this question, yes, it last longer and no, it doesn\u2019t last longer.\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/11.2.0\/svg\/1f642.svg\" alt=\"\ud83d\ude42\" \/><\/p>\n<p>First, I have found that our prepared produce does last longer. Usually, when you wash and cut your produce, their shelf life is limited to a couple of days. But, when I put them in mason jars after prepping them, they last a week to a week and a half. Because mason jars are air tight, they keep the produce from spoiling as quickly. I have not had to throw out any produce for quite some time now.<\/p>\n<p>Second answer, it doesn\u2019t last longer\u2026because we eat it! Seriously though, I also find that we use our produce more quickly when it is prepped ahead and in full view in mason jars. Usually, almost everything I bought the week before is gone that week, or a little into the next. Before using this method, I found that I would buy lots of produce, and much of it would spoil in the veggie drawer before I could or would use it.<\/p>\n<p>There are so many other reasons I enjoy using mason jars in my kitchen\u2026I see a list forming!
