Storage Tips
To keep green apples crisp and fresh, store them in the refrigerator's crisper drawer. This helps to slow down the ripening process and prevents them from becoming mealy. For optimal storage, keep them away from other fruits that produce ethylene gas, as this can accelerate ripening. Green apples can generally last for several weeks when properly stored in the refrigerator.
