Title: Fruits/Veggies
Post by: BK_Adores_Chase on July 01, 2010, 08:41:18 am
So what fruits/veggies need to be refrigerated and which don't?  I always assume if they arn't refrigerated at the store I can leave them out at home as well.

One vegetable that is not refrigerated at the store is onions. Every time we buy onions (still not cut) we always refrigerate them. It seems to me they last a little longer.

Pretty much every fruit and vegetable we buy ends up in the refrigerator, whether it is refrigerated at the store or not.  The exceptions would be bananas and potatoes.  With radishes, we wash them, cut the root tips and leafy parts off, and store in a glass bowl of water in the refrigerator.  They seem to last much longer this way.

Chocolate is my other lover - if chocolate dissapeared off the face of the Earth, I'd die.

I put them in the fridge so that they keep better.  I like the taste better if left at room temp.

If they are refrigerated at the store, then you have to put them back in the fridge at home.  I usually put all mine in the fridge.  Some times I leave my onions out and I always leave bananas out.

I refrigerate all my fruits and veggies, even bananas-they last longer even though the skin gets darker the inside is still perfect.

everything except bananas, pretty much. but i didn't know
the insides stay perfect and just the outsides darken if you
put them in the fridge? hmm...

i have a troublesome time with fruit flies, so most everything
goes in the fridge! and yes, i've tried those vinegar remedies.
they only work for so long. hmpf.

I refrigerate everything - even potatoes! I don't have a huge family, though, so fridge space isn't a problem.

If you need something to rippen up don't refrig, but i refrig most everything lasts longer that way even Banana(when you put them in fridge they turn black on the outside but they are perfect on the inside) :)

you must eat them quickly so they don't go bad. Nothing irks me more than throwing away bananas that have gone bad.

You really should not put lemons in the fridge unless you pull them out 24 hours prior to using them.  When they are in the fridge, the "good stuff" that they contain drops down.  But, being out in the air and natural temperature, they help extract all the "good things" that the lemons contain.  :)

well.. i put them in the fridge with those green veggie bags coz they stay fresh wayyyy longer the leaving them out. the bag hold the nature chemicals inside so they stay fresh longer. it's worth the money to get those bags coz they are reuseable and reversable. u should check them out. they are in the veggie section in the store.  more over by the salads and stuff at walmart. u can probably get them somewhere else but ur best bet is walmart.

It probably depend on preference and how long it takes you to eat them. The stores are always cool and most of them arent in a fridge. We dont place bananas in the fridge that turns them brown. apples and organes dont go in there either but we eat them so fast it doesnt matter.
