Osmosis in vegetables can be observed when cucumbers are placed in saltwater, causing them to lose water and become limp as water moves out of their cells. Conversely, soaking potatoes in freshwater can lead to them swelling as water enters their cells, making them crisp. Another example is when leafy greens are stored in water to maintain their freshness, as water moves into the cells, keeping them turgid.
