Keeping the Crunch!

Apple
Country® apples stay crisp and crunchy when stored properly
at home.



Refrigerate in the crisper section!  
  It’s that simple!




Cool air maintains quality, juiciness and crispness. Apples stored
at room temperature deteriorate ten times faster than refrigerated
apples.



Handle apples gently to prevent bruising.




Store apples in a ventilated plastic bag away from foods with
strong odors.



Don’t store apples with broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, cucumbers,
leafy greens, lettuce or spinach. Apples give off a gas that can
damage these vegtables. This same gas will speed the ripening
of bananas, kiwis, peaches, plums and pears. Place these fruits
into a paper bag with an apple to ripen much quicker.
