Tips
Great ideas for purchasing, storing, and consuming apples.
- Always make sure that the apples you are buying are firm. To check, press a small area of the skin – it should be firm to the touch.
- Don’t buy apples that are noticeably soft or discolored.
- Larger apples tend to ripen more quickly than the smaller ones, so if you want to get them in an abundant quantity, then go for the smaller ones.
- Apples can easily be stored in your refrigerator and last up to more than a month.
- Try not to store apples very close to other fruits as they release ethylene gas while ripening, which can harm the other fruits.
- Always store apples in the crisper compartment of your fridge in plastic bags.
- Do not store apples that are cut open as apples tend to oxidize very quickly and turn brownish.
- You can also fry apple wedges for a number of recipes or enjoy them as a sweet side-dish.
