How-to Store Fruits and Vegetables for Freshness

Potatoes, onions, and garlic should be kept in a cool, dry place, away from light.

Store mushrooms in a paper bag, not plastic.

Tomatoes should be kept at room temperature, unless they've been cut open.

Apples stored in the refrigerator will stay crisper longer.

Bananas should be separated from the bunch and stored in a cool place away from other fruits, as their ripening process gives off a gas that forces other fruits to ripen faster as well.
