You refrigerate vegetables?

Edit: I forgot that climate exists.

Considering it's almost always 30°C+ 60%+ RH at least half of the year where I live, yes

Refrigerating them increases their shelf life significantly in these conditions

It's probably less effective in other cooler and drier climates

I live in a tropical country. If I don't refrigerate at least the vast majority of the vegetables I buy immediately, they will be rotten in like two days at max.
