Vegetables like lettuce and spinach can wilt quickly in hot weather. Their delicate leaves are prone to turning soggy or bitter when exposed to high temperatures.
Potatoes can sprout or become mushy if stored in warm environments, and carrots may become woody or develop off-flavours.
Cucumbers are composed of over 95 percent water and are highly perishable. In hot weather, they may become limp, watery, or even develop a bitter taste.
