It is important not only to grow a tasty and high-quality harvest, but also to store it correctly in order to please yourself with healthy fruits at any time.

However, if you follow all the rules, apples will be stored just fine for several weeks.

It is important to remember that not all vegetables and fruits can be placed next to each other. If you make a mistake, they can quickly start to rot, which means you will have to go to the store for apples, and you can forget about home-grown ones.

Apricots should not be placed nearby, as they contain a lot of ethylene, which accelerates the ripening process. If the apples are already ripe, such proximity will only lead to rotting.

In addition, experienced housewives say that a similar rule applies to the proximity of apples to bananas.
