“Summer is the time for fresh produce, from farmer’s markets to garden harvests.  But you may not realize that many fruits and vegetables experience rapid losses in their nutritional value when stored for more than a few days.

In part, that is because the produce has usually already spent days in transport and on shelves before you buy it, said Barbara P. Klein, a professor of food science and human nutrition at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  Once they hit the refrigerator, she added, some fruits and vegetables can lose as much as 50% of their vitamin C and other nutrients in the ensuing week, depending on the temperature.”  https://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/28/health/28real.html

“University of California studies show that vegetables can lose 15 to 55 percent of vitamin C, for instance, within a week. Some spinach can lose 90 percent within the first 24 hours after harvest.” http://www.chicagotribune.com/dining/ct-xpm-2013-07-10-chi-most-produce-loses-30-percent-of-nutrients-three-days-after-harvest-20130710-story.html
