Fresh produce spoils within hours of purchase, wasting money and food

Home cooks and meal planners buy fresh vegetables like water spinach with good intentions but watch them deteriorate rapidly—darkening and shriveling within a day—despite proper storage attempts. This causes immediate financial loss, food waste guilt, and forces repeated shopping trips. Current storage methods (refrigeration, plastic bags) lack specific guidance for different produce types, leaving consumers guessing and ultimately throwing away expensive groceries.
