Apples are fruits that are familiar to us.
They are tasty, healthy and serve as a great snack. In addition, they can be added to desserts, jams and compotes can be made from them.
Therefore, any housewife who has harvested fruits wants to keep them for a long time in order to have time to cook everything she planned.
But few people know that apples should be stored separately from certain foods.
The whole point is that during the ripening process, ethylene is formed in them, which provokes faster ripening of the fruits that are nearby. As a result, they overripen and rot.
What fruits and vegetables should not be stored with apples
We are talking about lemon, peaches, apricots, pears, grapes, bananas, mangoes and avocados.
Rapid spoilage of the apples themselves can be caused by their proximity in the refrigerator to fruits that also produce a lot of ethylene. Usually these are tomatoes, melons, potatoes.
