The best storage method for fruit depends on the type and ripeness. Generally, store ripe fruits in the refrigerator to slow down ripening and extend their shelf life. Some fruits, like bananas and avocados, are best kept at room temperature until ripe, then refrigerated. Berries should be stored unwashed in a breathable container in the refrigerator. For long-term storage, many fruits can be frozen, either whole, sliced, or pureed. Properly stored fruit stays fresh and delicious longer.
