Ranveer Brar Urges Fresh Market Shopping for Food Safety
Ranveer Brar shared tips for keeping food fresh and safe at home.
He said people should buy vegetables from local markets when possible.
Looking at the vegetables directly can help shoppers choose fresh food.
He said delivery apps are useful when there is an emergency.
However, he believes they should not replace regular market shopping.
Brar also suggested cooking only the amount of food people need.
This can leave fewer leftovers in the refrigerator.
His advice comes as Maharashtra increases checks on food safety and adulteration.
