With a little humidity intel, using your refrigerator drawers strategically can help you avoid food waste. In most refrigerators, you can control the amount of humidity by changing the dial above the drawers. In high humidity, the window in the drawer is closed, allowing no air to escape. This is great for your leafy greens and ethylene-sensitive foods like strawberries or broccoli. Produce that wilts will greatly benefit from the high humidity setting. The low humidity setting allows the window to open partially or all the way, giving breathing room to ethylene-producing produce such as melons, peaches, pears, and apples. This ensures that your produce will stay fresh for as long as possible.
