How to Store Peaches

To ripen firm peaches, store between 65-70 degrees (high humidity). Peaches will ripen in 2-4 days depending on firmness. Ripe peaches can be stored for 3-4 days in single layer in refrigerator at 40 degrees. If stored more than 3 days, place in plastic bag to prevent dehydration.

How to Store Strawberries

Pick during cool morning to prolong shelf life. Pick fully ripe; berries will not ripen after harvest. Refrigerate. Soft or damp berries should be used as soon as possible. Don’t wash until just before use. Can be stored 2-6 days at 33-34 degrees (high humidity).
