You are now being more efficient with your time and doing one supermarket shop for the week, so let’s make sure you’re storing your fruit properly to make it last.

Here are some of our most commonly used fruits:

 

Avocado

Banana

Kiwi

Pears

Pineapple

These fruits need to stay OUT of the fridge if they’re not fully ripe. Only after they have ripened should you refrigerate them.

 

Blackberries

Blueberries

Cranberries

Currants

Grapes

Raspberries

Strawberries

These fruits DO need to go in the fridge. They won’t ripen any further after being picked. They’ll just go off if you leave them at room temperature.

 

Apples

Lemons

Limes

Oranges

These fruits are fine either way. They won’t ripen any further if you want to keep them out in a fruit bowl. You will however get the longest life out of them if you store them in the fridge.
