Misted Produce Trickery
Those gentle spritzes of water on your fruits and veggies might seem like they’re keeping your greens fresh—but they’re actually part of a marketing tactic. Misting makes produce glisten and appear more vibrant and plump, which translates to one thing: higher sales.
Unfortunately, that extra moisture can also lead to faster spoilage. Leafy greens like spinach or lettuce often wilt quicker after misting if not kept cool. And while it looks natural, the timing and amount of mist is controlled by internal timers, not your food’s needs. It’s hydration theater for the benefit of your wallet, not your nutrition.
