How do I stop apples making other fruit ripen too quickly?

Our answer

Store ethylene-producing apples separately from sensitive fruit, especially berries and leafy produce.

Why this approach makes sense

The useful decision is usually the storage temperature, container or time since preparation, not a special gadget.

Before you try it

If food shows signs of spoilage or has not been kept at a safe temperature, do not try to rescue it with extra seasoning or heating.
