In or OUT? Together or Apart?

I learned something new today about fruit and veggie storage.

I learned that you should never keep apples and oranges together in the same bowl. Apparently they both give off gases that make the other fruit go bad more quickly. If they are ripe enough, they should be stored in the fridge and will last about a month!

Tomatoes, on the other hand, should NOT be refrigerated unless you have cut them. Tomatoes CAN be refrigerated, but refrigeration changes them so that they will have a mealy sort of texture.

The same can be said for onions. They should be stored at room temperature inside a cupboard or dark pantry. Once cut or peeled they should be refrigerated. Any dish prepared with onions should also be refrigerated.
I learned these things when I was baching it years ago when was able to buy prepare and eat/taste my own food.

@Gibbon Great point! Most people don't know that refrigerating an onion will remove MOST of the nice, sharp onion flavor!
