ObstGemüseSchublade

ObstGemüseSchublade is a German term that directly translates to "fruit and vegetable drawer." It refers to a specific compartment within a refrigerator, typically located at the bottom. This drawer is designed to maintain a higher humidity level than the rest of the refrigerator, which helps to keep fruits and vegetables fresh for longer periods. The increased humidity prevents them from wilting and drying out. Some refrigerators feature two separate drawers, often labeled "Obst" (fruit) and "Gemüse" (vegetable), allowing for optimal humidity control for each type of produce. These drawers may have adjustable vents to further customize the humidity levels based on the specific contents. Proper utilization of the ObstGemüseSchublade can significantly reduce food waste and preserve the quality and nutritional value of fresh produce. The concept is common in many modern refrigerator designs across various brands and countries, even if the specific German terminology is not universally used.
