Did you wonder if it’s ok to put apples and oranges together in a bowl which is sitting on your counter or table? Well, if you do have them together, then it is time to separate them. Apples and oranges stored together omit a gas that will break them down faster. The best way to store apples is in the refrigerator because warmer temperatures will shorten the life of your apples. Keep them close to 0 Celsius to extend their shelf life. Citrus is best stored in the refrigerator too. Try to avoid plastic bags because they can make your fruit moldy. Use a mesh bag or a basket so air can circulate around them. I keep a list on my fridge, of which fruits and veggies are good to store in the fridge and which are good to leave on the countertop.

Visit my website www.martinahealthcoach.com if you would like the list for yourself.
