Question- If I cut up some cucumber and kiwi and put it in an air-tight container and store it in my fridge overnight, then put it in the fridge at work in the morning, will it still be good to eat by lunchtime tommorow? I never used to bother with fresh foods in my lunch, but I want to start.

You can try squeezing a little bit of orange or lime in the water, and that should keep the fruit from going brown for a couple of hours. Ooo thank you :P RubberTrees Posted at 5:19 pm on Sep. 7, 2008 Try putting the cut up fruit in a bowl of water with some critic acid mixed in.  You can try squeezing a little bit of orange or lime in the water, and that should keep the fruit from going brown for a couple of hours. lonewolf03 Posted at 5:18 pm on Sep. 7, 2008 Thanks guys. :P I guess I will check up on the food in the morning and see how it's doing- if it's totally gross I can cut up some fresh stuff in the morning, I guess. lonewolf03 Posted at 5:18 pm on Sep. 7, 2008 Quote: from sobyekthnx at 5:16 pm on Sep. 7, 2008 Go to Subway, you can't get any fresher than that. Sadly, even if I did like subway, there aren't any real resturaunts or anything near the place i'm working. BrokenBelief Posted at 5:17 pm on Sep. 7, 2008 If you can manage to not cut it up, do so.  Storing for almost 24 hours cut up is kind of stretching it.  With the cucumber, you could just eat it whole.  Take bites of it.  You may look kind of strange, but whatever.  Or find a little knife so you can cut it up as you eat it.  Leaving it cut will make it lose a lot of the flavor. kay dee Posted at 5:16 pm on Sep. 7, 2008 It might be a little discolored or squishy... sobyekthnx Posted at 5:16 pm on Sep. 7, 2008 Go to Subway, you can't get any fresher than that.
