Store fresh fruit at room temperature if it is not fully ripe, allowing it to ripen naturally. Once ripe, refrigerate to extend its shelf life and maintain freshness. For fruits like berries or cut fruit, keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you need long-term storage, freeze fruit in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer-safe bag or container.
