As you stock up on produce this summer, we're here to remind you *how* to take care of and store your fruits and veggies to maximize their life (and save money!)
Here are some things to consider:
🍉the condition when purchased
🍉the temp at which it needs to be stored
🍉 the humidity & airflow levels of storage space
🍉 whether the food produces ethylene gas or is ethylene-sensitive
But these aren't super hard and fast rules. For example, citrus (think lemons, limes, oranges) could be at home sitting on the counter. If you want to extend their life, throw them in the fridge.
