Guide to Freshness and Storage of Common Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits and vegetables have varying shelf lives influenced by factors like temperature, humidity, and storage conditions. Apples last about one week at room temperature and up to four weeks refrigerated, while bananas last two to seven days, ripening at room temperature before refrigeration. Berries should be stored unwashed in the fridge and consumed within a week. Slight bruising or softness in produce is generally safe unless mould is present, which warrants discarding affected items to avoid foodborne illnesses.
