"perhaps the greatest culprit behind lost nutritional value is simply that old nemesis, the passage of time.
As soon as a vegetable is picked it begins losing nutritional value—and fast. Leeks, for example, lose over
50% of their total carotene within three days. A study by Mary Eheart and Dianne Odland showed that
even under optimal storage temperatures green beans lose 60% of their Vitamin C in the first three days
after harvest and lose another third by the end of the fourth day."
