5 Tips for Keeping Your Apples Fresh

To slow ripening and preserve crispness, keep apples in a cool place, preferably between -1 and 1°C (30 and 35°F).

Place apples in containers with ventilation holes to allow air circulation, preventing moisture build-up that can cause mould. If using plastic bags, make some small holes for airflow.

Cut apples brown quickly due to oxidation. To preserve quality, don’t mix cut pieces with whole apples.

Wrap apples individually in newspaper to absorb moisture and protect against bruising, which can help extend their shelf life.

Avoid storing apples with other fruits like bananas or oranges, as they can accelerate spoilage. Keep apples in a separate location to maintain freshness.
