The moisture level for better storage of vegetables is 20%.
Moisture content affects the processibility, shelf-life, usability and quality of a product. Accurate moisture content determination, therefore, plays a key role in ensuring the quality of vegetables.
A general rule for vegetables is that cool-season crops should be stored at cooler temperatures (32 to 35°F) and warm-season crops should be stored at warmer temperatures (45 to 55°F).
