But now the solution to this problem has been found, and in the most desi style. In fact, scientists of IIT Rurki have developed a huge technique, which will keep the fruits and vegetables fresh for 21 days. The name of this technique is that the natural clay -based sore and interesting thing is that this technique is completely natural.
Do you know what this clay is?
This is not a common soil! Dr. Keerthiraj K. Kaikwad and his crew have created this special natural ‘clay’ with two years of hard work, which creates a protective layer of fruits and vegetables. This layer prevents contact with the ethylene gas in the fruits from the outer air. Ethylene is the same gas that is cooked quickly and then rotten. At the same time, the layer of fruits and vegetables can increase by 30 to 50 percent.
