Walk through your grocery store to the organic vegetables. Those nice chilled/refrigerated cases keeping all of those pristine veggies at 41 or so degrees. Those misting systems spraying water on them to give them the appearance of a soaking rain. Those row upon rows of vegetables that are shielded from light either from shelving or from being packed on top of on another.

Whether you are in Charlotte, North Carolina or Columbia, South Carolina or any other place in the United States have you not seen this exact vegetable section?

Have you ever thought about this section of your store? Let us go back to high school where we studied about mold, mildew and fungus. What 3 conditions needed to be present for mold, mildew and fungus to grow? Lack of Light, Moist conditions and Cool conditions.

Makes you go hmmmmmmm, doesn’t it? How can an untreated vegetable, an clean organic vegetable that was harvested weeks if not months before stay in a moist, cool and mostly dark environment and not develop mold, mildew or fungus?
