Storage Tips

Apples

No one likes a bad apple, and storing apples the right way is your ticket to maintaining quality, freshness and flavor of your apples. Below you can find our best tips on selecting and storing apples to ensure they live up to their World Famous flavor promise.

With so many apples to choose from, selecting the perfect one can be a challenge. Learn how to look for the perfect apple through our easy tips!

  • Store your apples in the coldest part of your refrigerator at 33 to 35 degrees Fahrenheit, away from strong-smelling foods like onion and garlic. You will also want to keep your apples away from potatoes as potatoes release a gas that can make apples spoil quicker.

  • Freezing apples can be a great way to maintain quality for long periods of time. Follow these four simple steps.
  • Preventing apples from browning quicker is always a useful tip for your apple toolbox and lemon juice isn’t the only way!
