National Produce Misting Day on October 2 highlights a unique yet essential technology: produce misting systems. These systems keep fruits and vegetables crisp, hydrated, and nutrient-rich. Celebrating this day is simple and involves appreciating the freshness that misted produce provides.
When shopping, take note of how your grocer uses misting systems. These systems not only extend the shelf life of produce but also help maintain the texture and flavor. Pick out your favorite misted produce and try a new recipe at home. Share your creations and grocery tips using the hashtag #ProduceMistingDay on social media.
According to Corrigan Corporation of America, the day was founded in 2018 to honor the invention that revolutionized grocery stores. Jack Corrigan is credited with the first patents for these systems in 1979. This innovation is essential for grocers and consumers who want fresh, hydrated produce year-round.
