on freezing fruits.
Fully ripe fruits should be stored in the refrigerator at
recommended temperatures, to slow down the ripening
process.
Unripe fruits should be left to ripen at room
temperature, in a container that allows for air
circulation.
To hasten the ripening process, you can place unripe
fruit in a paper bag that has holes poked in it. Close
the bag and set it on a counter. The fruit will produce
ethylene, a gas that initiates the ripening process.
Check the bag each day.
Most fruits should be stored in lower humidity.
Discard any fresh fruits that are moldy or have other
signs of spoilage, and wipe out the refrigerator
compartment.
See page 24 for a list of ethylene sensitive and ethylene
producing vegetables and fruits.
indicates fruit that is sensitive to chill injury, a cause
of spoilage. Damage may not be apparent until the fruit
is returned to a warmer temperature.
