crisper

Vegetable storage compartment

A crisper is the drawer in a refrigerator designed to keep fruits and vegetables fresh longer, typically with humidity controls: Put the lettuce in the crisper.

The name comes from its purpose—maintaining crispness in produce that would otherwise wilt.

Crisper also serves as the comparative form of crisp: This apple is crisper than that one.
