A local refrigerator manufacturer has been experimenting with new designs for vegetable bins, suspecting that humidity level was a critical factor in the length of time vegetables stay fresh. The first design maintained a humidity level of 10 percent but the vegetables shriveled in a fairly short time. Another design maintained a humidity level of 60 percent but the vegetables began to rot in less than two days. The third design tested maintained a humidity level of 28 percent.

The manufacturer concluded the experiments, satisfied that optimum humidity level is critical for maintaining the freshness of vegetables as long as possible.
