can someone please tell me how to keep fruit fresh for longer periods of time.?

Question

I'm always buying fresh fruit and it seems to go bad so quickly

Answer 1

For gods sake don't stick it in your office desk. BAAAADDD idea. ok but the fridge works in a baggie.

Answer 2

I spread blueberries and raspberries on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer.
The next day I put the berries in a ziploc bag and defrost as needed or put directly in blender with yogurt to make a smoothie.
Not much other choice as even my food saver didn't keep them from going bad in a week.
The main thing you want to do is keep moisture off by wrapping in paper towel in the fridge, then store in the vegetable bin.

Answer 3

you might be buying it overripe. i like to buy fruits with a variety of ripeness when i go shopping. such as, bunches of bananas that ar both green and yellow, so i have some to eat now and later. i also buy other fruits like peaches, plums, and nectarines, very firm and slightly firm.
a lot of fruits though, need to be eaten quickly anyway once they reach optimum ripeness, usually 2-3 days max. you can preserve your fruits by washing, cutting, and storing them in the freezer. that way you don't have to keep running to the store all the time. :-)

Answer 4

you can buy 'fruit fresh' at walmart and grocery stores that will keep it from turning, or sprinkle lemon juice on it

Answer 5

put it in a refrigator
