When you bring home a bag full of fresh produce, it’s important to know how long each item will last before going bad. Proper storage can help extend the life of your fruits and vegetables. Here is a guide on the shelf life of some common produce items:
Apples
How Long They Last: 4-8 Weeks
Apples can last 4-8 weeks when stored in the refrigerator. Look out for brown spots and mushiness as signs of spoilage.
Avocados
How Long They Last: 4-7 Days
Avocados should be eaten within 4-7 days when stored at room temperature. Avoid refrigerating ripe avocados.
Bananas
How Long They Last: 2-5 Days
Ripe bananas can last 2-5 days at room temperature. Refrigeration can delay ripening for already ripe bananas.
