Storing Fresh Produce

Farming Today

Some of the fresh produce we buy in the supermarket can be nearly a year old. So how do we manage to keep it fresh for so long? Sybil Ruscoe visits a root vegetable farm in Shropshire to investigate the science of storage. From automatically controlled storage environments to an edible protective coating for fruit - there are all sorts of tricks of the trade, new and old. Presented by Sybil Ruscoe Produced by Heather Simons
