Refrigerate in the crisper section!     It’s that simple!

Cool air maintains quality, juiciness and crispness. Apples stored at room temperature deteriorate ten times faster than refrigerated apples.

Handle apples gently to prevent bruising.

Store apples in a ventilated plastic bag away from foods with strong odors.

Don’t store apples with broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, cucumbers, leafy greens, lettuce or spinach. Apples give off a gas that can damage these vegtables. This same gas will speed the ripening of bananas, kiwis, peaches, plums and pears. Place these fruits into a paper bag with an apple to ripen much quicker.
