durable produce whole (in their original state)


Explanation:
bunch carrots, corn on the cob, peas in the shell, beans with stringy ends, tomatoes on the vine etc. to preserve their natural character.

In the US, 'produce' is any agrarian product, so don't say 'vegetable produce' or 'produce products'

neutral  Kim Metzger: I don't think "whole" captures stückig. Most likely they're not whole at all. And not sure "durable" is meant here. Perhaps non-perishable.
