Alright, so you’ve picked the perfect apples and now you need to know how to store them.
In order to retain the apples best qualities, you’ll want to store them at about 32 degrees. You can do this in a garage, basement or root cellar but the best place to store your apples is a refrigerator.
One true way to shorten the life of an apple in storage, is to raise the temperature. A refrigeratior can keep the temperature consistant.
Another thing you’ll want when storing apples is humidity. Humidity helps keep the apples from shriveling in storage. Most refrigerators are low in humidity so store the apples in perforated plastic bags or a covered container, so that their natural humidity will be retained.
