Storage
Cool cooked food promptly in shallow containers and refrigerate within 2 hours at 4°C or colder. Use within 2–3 days, or freeze promptly where texture allows. Refrigerate raw prepared salads and dairy sauces promptly; dress salads just before serving. Reheat cooked leftovers to 74°C.
Grow the main ingredient

Other harvests to try
Choose similar tenderness and prepared weight; adjust cooking to the cut size. Colour and flavour will change. For peppers, check heat first: hotter varieties are not a gram-for-gram swap.
