- Refrigerate: Most fruits and vegetables, such as berries, lettuce, and carrots, should be stored in the refrigerator. Keep them in the crisper drawer at high or low humidity settings depending on their needs. - Room Temperature: Some fruits, like bananas, tomatoes, and avocados, should be stored at room temperature until they ripen. Once ripe, you can refrigerate them to extend their freshness. - Separately: Store ethylene-producing fruits like apples and bananas away from other produce to prevent premature ripening and spoilage.
