Define perishable foods

Answer 1

Perishable and semi-perishable crops are those which still hold a comparatively large amount of water, and thus are much more susceptible to decay within a short period of time than grains or pulse crops. These crops include fresh vegetables and tubers which require stringent control of refrigeration, ventilation, and humidity in order to remain edible for a period of time. Once processed for freezing or canning, for example, these crops can then last much longer. That period can vary widely, from a few days for some leafy produce, to as much as several months for potatoes and apples.

Answer 2

Perishables are what will decay rapidly if not refrigerated.

Answer 3

Perishable means "can go bad" - it usually refers to short shelf-life items such as fruit and vegetables, fresh meat and fish and other 'fresh' foods.

Answer 4

Perishable foods are foods that have not undergone a preservation process such as drying, salting or canning. so fresh fruit and vegetables, fresh meat, eggs, cheese, bread etc.

Answer 5

Foods that go bad quickly.

Answer 6
