She was shocked to discover that the lifehack had saved her from throwing a whole head of cauliflower.
“I tried and woke up to fresh cauliflower!” she exclaimed.
Caroline claimed she couldn’t recommend the culinary trick anymore.

Her lifehack was quickly shared on Facebook, where many couldn’t believe how easy it was to breathe new life into old vegetables.
“That’s very clever,” said a woman. “They’re too precious to waste – and I think the flooding could push the prices of fresh fruits and vegetables back up.”
“This also works well for the veggies you buy at a discount because they’re running out,” says another.

Several shared similar hacks to extend the life of other fruits and vegetables.
“The overnight soak trick works for carrots too,” said one woman.
She added, “But I find that if I peel and trim the ends of my carrots and store them in a container in the fridge, they last so much longer.”
“I cut the bottom of my celery and let it sit in cold water for a few hours, like a bunch of flowers, and they’re nice and crunchy again.”
“I use vegetables that look half-dead to make the best soup,” said a third. ‘The taste of vegetables is best just before they are unusable!’
“My daughter puts her strawberries in a jar in the fridge with some water in it,” a mother revealed. “She swears by it—no taste change at all!”
