🍎 Want your autumn apples to last? Read this!⁠ ⁠ There is nothing better than a crisp, fresh-picked apple! But once you get them home, how do you make sure they stay crunchy and don't turn soft?⁠ ⁠ Here’s our foolproof guide to making them last for weeks!⁠ ⁠ 🧊 KEEP THEM COLD. Apples ripen 10x faster at room temperature. For maximum shelf life, store them in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator.⁠ ⁠ 💧 MAINTAIN HUMIDITY. To prevent them from drying out, keep them in a plastic bag with a few holes, or drape a damp paper towel over them.⁠ ⁠ 🌬️ GIVE THEM SPACE. They need ventilation! Never seal them in an airtight container or bag.⁠ ⁠ 🚫 STORE ALONE. The most important rule! Apples release ethylene gas, which speeds up the ripening of other produce. Keep them separate from potatoes, onions, bananas and other fruits.⁠ ⁠ ❌ CHECK & SORT. The old saying is true! Inspect your apples regularly and discard or eat any that show soft spots. One rotten apple will spoil the bunch.⁠ ⁠ Read more apple storing tips and learn how to preserve them at the link in our bio! 🔗⁠
