Fruit and Veggie Storage

Do you keep your fruits and vegetables in the same drawer?

Keeping certain fruits and vegetables together in the refrigerator will make them go bad a lot faster. Fruits release ethylene gas which speeds up the ripening of vegetables. Pears, melons and apples are the biggest culprits. If you keep your vegetables in the crisper drawer – find a different spot for the fruit. If you keep them on the shelves in your fridge – put fruits and vegetables on different shelves.
