Are You Guilty of These Common Food Storage Mistakes?

Averting Apple Troubles

Storing apples in the refrigerator keeps them fresh and crisp for weeks. They’re often called troublemakers because they emit ethylene gas, which can cause other fruits and vegetables to ripen and spoil faster. Store apples in a separate drawer or a cool, dry place to avoid this.

When kept out of the fridge, apples last about a week. For the longest shelf life, refrigerate them in a plastic bag with holes for ventilation. Enjoy fresh apples longer by giving them the right storage spot and keeping them away from other produce.
