@marknmt … I have learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I threw out 100 lbs of carrots after storing with apples. Apples give off ethylene as they age which causes elevated terpine levels in carrots… absolutely ruins the taste.
And peaches need to be cooled to 50-60° several days before they can be stored in refrigeration. Otherwise the flesh becomes mealy.
Honeycrisp apple also needs a gradual temperature reduction(10 days) before long term cold storage to avoid bitterness.
Thanks for starting a fruit storage thread. I would like to learn more.
