Fruits/Veggies

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

I keep potatos and onions out.  Also banana's and some other fruits.....Banana's go bad to soon and I just enjoy apples and oranges at room temp.

I refrigerate everything except tomatoes, potatoes, bananas, onions, and apples.

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.

The last post about the lemon - I did not know, thank you.

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.

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.
