There are a lot of ways to serve fresh fruits and vegetables. If you need to store them for more than a day before serving, follow the storage guidelines below for the best taste and texture.
Countertop Storage
Many fruits and vegetables should be stored only at room temperature because refrigerator temperatures damage them or keep them from ripening to a good flavor and texture. Produce that should be stored at room temperature include:
Bananas
Cantaloupe
Eggplant
​Grapefruit
Honeydew
Jicama
Lemons
Mangos

Oranges
Peppers
Pineapple
Plantains

Pumpkin
Squash
Tomatoes
Watermelon

Ripen on the Counter, and then Store in the Refrigerator
Some produce continue to ripen after they are picked. Produce that can ripen in a bowl or in a paper bag until they reach the desired softness include:
Avocados
Kiwi

Nectarines
​Peaches
Pears
​Plums

Cabinet or Pantry Storage
Produce that should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place includes:
Onions               Garlic               Potatoes               ​Sweet Potatoes
