Nutritional Value: Oxidation may destroy nutrients such as vitamin C and antioxidants in food. Particularly for high-water-content foods such as fruits and vegetables, the nutrients are more easily oxidized.
Control Temperature and Storage Conditions: Keep food stored at appropriate temperatures and avoid placing food in overly humid or sun-drenched locations, which can exacerbate the rate of oxidation.
Eat Seasonally: Eating food in-season in the local area usually has better quality than other seasons and should not ignore the freshness of seasonal ingredients.
