Fruits and Vegetables You Should Never Store Together (Unless You Want Them to Spoil Faster)

If your fruit bowl includes a bunch of grapes and some apples, you’re doing it wrong, the experts say…

Oil and water. Two constantly-squabbling siblings. A flaky croissant and your freshly-cleaned bed sheets.

Certain things are better kept at a distance, including certain fruits and vegetables you should never store together. Sure, it’s easy to toss your entire farmers market or supermarket haul into the same crisper drawer or two, it’s not your best strategy to extend the life of your ingredients. But since fruits and veggies aren’t exactly shouting at each other, for example, or crumbling into pieces atop your crisp white sheets, how do you know which fruits and vegetables you should never store together?

To help us all store in a savvier way and max out the lifespan of our produce investments, we asked our Test Kitchen experts and other culinary pros for their guidance about which fruits and veggies are friends—and which are freshness foes.

The Fruits and Vegetables You Should Never Store Together

Some fruits and vegetables need to be stored separately due to varying temperature requirements. For example, cucumbers last the longest when stored between 50 to 54 degrees F instead of the usual fridge temp of 35 to 40 degrees F, while tomatoes prefer room temp, and grapes thrive between 32 and 36 degrees F.

Other fruits and veggies are best at a distance so they don't transfer odors from one to another; onions and garlic, for instance, can overpower the taste or smell of apples, pears, carrots, celery, and others.

Those fruit and vegetable storage tips are much easier to assume than what Meggan Hill, executive chef and CEO of Culinary Hill deems is the “main rule” to produce storage success: “Separate high-ethylene producers from ethylene-sensitive fruits and vegetables,” she says. “It’s important to know which fruits and vegetables produce high or moderate amounts of natural ethylene gas and which are sensitive to it. This will allow you to maximize freshness and reduce spoilage.”

Story continues

Ethylene is a gas that certain fruits and vegetables emit to cause them to ripen. Without ethylene, that under-ripe rock-hard avocado would remain that rock hard, rather than transforming into its luscious buttery, spreadable, or mashable consistency.

Since ethylene speeds up the ripening—and spoiling—process for certain fruits and vegetables, “when stored too close to each other, ethylene-rich produce can cause ethylene-sensitive produce to ripen too quickly and cause rapid deterioration,” Lauren Grant-Vose, founder of Zestful Kitchen adds.

For this reason, Chris Meyer, Dotdash Meredith Test Kitchen administrative assistant, recommends keeping ethylene-producers at least 6 to 8 inches away from the fruits and vegetables sensitive to ethylene gas.

Ethylene-Producing Fruits and Vegetables

According to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Center for Community Health, the following produce high amounts of natural ethylene gas.

“To be safe, just store the ethylene-producers away from other produce, by themselves, and not in sealed bags or containers,” Grant-Vose suggests.

Apples

Avocados

Bananas

Cantaloupe

Kiwi

Peaches

Pears

Peppers

Tomatoes

“Celery, peppers, potatoes, and tomatoes also produce a moderate amount of ethylene,” Hill adds.

Meyer says that there are some storage containers and produce-saver sheets that can help absorb ethylene; try using these inside your crisper drawer if you have any of the above items in-stock.

Ethylene-Sensitive Fruits and Vegetables

On the flip side, these items are ones that UCSD says are sensitive to ethylene. Grant-Vose notes that circulation is key to extending the life of ethylene-sensitive items, so it is wise to remove the following in sealed containers or bags.

Some of the ethylene-producers noted above are also ethylene-sensitive, and we’ve noted those below in bold.

“If a fruit or veggie is both an ethylene-producer and ethylene-sensitive, store the produce in a single layer rather than stacked or piled into bowls,” Grant-Vose says. (This means that displaying a beautiful bowl of apples on your counter is not the wisest idea for maximum fruit lifespan.)

Apples

Asparagus

Avocados

Bananas

Broccoli

Cabbage

Cauliflower

Collard Greens

Cucumber

Eggplant

Grapes

Kiwi

Lemons and Limes

Lettuce

Mangos

Melons (cantaloupe, watermelon, honeydew)

Onions

Pears

Peppers

Squash

Stone Fruits (peaches, nectarines, plums, apricots, cherries)

Sweet Potatoes

Fruits and Vegetables That Are Not Ethylene-Sensitive

While we’re continuing to learn more about the fruits and veggies that can play nicely together, the current scientific consensus is that the following items are not extremely ethylene-sensitive, so should be okay to store with other produce section selections.

Blueberries

Cherries

Garlic

Grapefruit

Green Beans

Oranges

Pineapple

Potatoes

Raspberries

Strawberries

Tomatoes

7 Bonus Tips for How to Make Produce Last Longer

Now that you have our ultimate guide to the fruits and vegetables you should never store together, we couldn’t let our pro panel go without asking them to spill about other ways to slow spoilage and lengthen the life of your fresh garden goodies.

Flip out. We swear by an old restaurant trick: FIFO, which stands for “first in, first out.” When you put something new in, whether it's produce or leftovers, place it closer to the back, and bring something older towards the front, Grant-Vose says. “Doing this allows you to keep an eye on your inventory and helps you keep track of what's fresh and what's a bit older and ready to be used.”

Towel off. Paper towels are a wise, budget-friendly tool to help extend the life of many produce items. “Berries, lettuce greens, snap peas, and herbs can all benefit from a paper towel being placed in the storage container,” Grant-Vose says. “Replace the paper towel with a fresh one occasionally if needed.”

Time the rinse cycle right. If you can wait, it’s best to wash fruits and vegetables right before you eat or serve them, Hill advises. When you get fruits and vegetables home from the market, dry off any moisture before storing them. “Moisture can contribute to spoilage and can encourage bacterial growth,” Hill says.

Let ‘em breathe. Along with being dry, most produce benefits from circulating air, so store veggies in paper bags or bags with holes—not an airtight plastic bag, Hill suggests.

Go whole. Instead of cutting, shredding, or slicing immediately after purchase or harvest, keep fruits, vegetables, and herbs whole for as long as possible, Grant-Vose says.

Mind your onions. Even though both onions and potatoes should both be stored in a cool, dark place outside of the refrigerator, “do not store onions and potatoes together,” Hill warns “Onions release moisture which will lead to mushy potatoes with eyes or roots.”

Trim the tops. When produce comes with green tops, such as carrots or beets, trim the tops immediately. (Don’t toss them, though! Blitz the leaves into beet or carrot top pesto.) If you leave the tops attached, they can drain moisture, resulting in veggies that are limp or dry.

The Bottom Line

Temperature, smell, and ethylene gas production levels (or sensitivities) can be your guide when considering which fruits and vegetables to store together.

“The easiest rule to follow is to just store like produce together,” Grant-Vose says. “Berries can be stored together, brassica vegetables can be stored together, leafy greens can be together, and most root vegetables (except potatoes) can go together.”

If you’d like to keep your fruits and vegetables beyond their usual best-by date, consider preservation. Check out our Test Kitchen’s canning basics to help you preserve produce for up to a year.

8 Best Fruits That Can Help Relieve Constipation

Constipation can be very frustrating. Not only does it make you feel uncomfortable, but it can also lead to stomach ache, bloating and other issues. Constipation occurs when your bowel movements are not regular. A number of factors can directly or indirectly cause this: improper diet, irregular meal timings, sedentary lifestyle, disturbed sleep, stress, etc. There are several natural remedies you can consider trying. And one of the most simple ones is just eating the right fruit. Below we have compiled a list of common fruits that may help solve this problem:

1. Bananas

Fibre-rich bananas have long been used as a home remedy for constipation. According to Delhi-based dietitian Ritu Arora, "Ripened bananas improve the bowel syndrome and let microvilli present in the small intestine to function better, further helping in digestion and relieving constipation." It is important to ensure the bananas are ripened. Unripe bananas are high in resistant starch and have the opposite effect - they are considered better for those suffering from loose motions/ diarrhoea rather than constipation.

2. Oranges

Oranges are a particularly refreshing source of fibre and vitamin C. This citrus fruit is known to have a laxative effect to a certain extent. Eating them whole (rather than juiced) can help you get a greater amount of fibre. Some studies also suggest that the presence of the compound naringenin (a flavonoid) in oranges can help those with constipation.

3. Kiwi

Kiwi is another fruit rich in vitamin C. But that's not what makes it particularly helpful for constipation. Rather, its high fibre and water content make it a good solution for this problem. Some research also suggests that actinidin, an enzyme found in kiwis, may also contribute to its effectiveness in this case.

4. Pears

Pears contain not only fibre but fructose and sorbitol. The latter two can have a laxative effect and thus provide relief from your tummy troubles. Sorbitol is known to soften stool and ease bowel movements through pressure.

5. Apple

Apple is a unique part of this list because it can help relieve constipation as well as diarrhoea. In the case of the former, it is recommended to eat the apple with the skin. It is this outer portion that contains insoluble fibre and can promote bowel movements. The fruit also contains soluble fibre, especially in the form of a dietary fibre called pectin. Studies show that this can also help with the problem. If you have loose motions, experts advise removing the skin before consumption. Also Read: Does Eating Rice Cause Constipation? Here's What You Need To Know

6. Papaya

Papaya is a low-cal fruit rich in water as well as fibre. It can regulate bowel movements and help you poop. It also contains papain, an enzyme known to aid digestion. It is best to eat papaya plain or with seeds such as chia or flax (which are also good for constipation). You must avoid pairing it with certain other foods, in general. Click here to know more.

7. Figs

Figs are an amazing source of fibre and can help promote regularity. They also contain an enzyme called ficin, which may contribute to their laxative effect. You can have them as they are or soak them overnight.

8. Prunes

Apart from fresh fruits, this particular 'dry fruit' can also help relieve constipation. Prunes are dried plums. They contain soluble as well as insoluble fibres that are beneficial for you. They also contain sorbitol, which can play a role in easing bowel movements (as discussed earlier).

Make these fruits a regular part of your diet to keep indigestion at bay. They will also ensure you get a good amount of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants necessary for your overall health.

How We Picked The Best THC Gummies

We created this list using our five-step analysis framework, which allows us to create a fair and unbiased ranking of the many THC gummies and other edible THC products available.

This means you can be confident that our recommendations really do represent the best of the best and aren’t just based on our personal opinions. Here’s how our process breaks down:

Expert Opinions

We considered the advice and recommendations of experts, both in terms of the compounds that are included in the gummies and whether any individual product or company has received any expert endorsements.

Customer reviews

We examinedreviews and feedback left by customers, considering trends and overall sentiment as well as any key aspects of the products. This also allows us to gain a broader understanding of how subjective elements of the design such as taste and texture were received by the general population.

Product descriptions

We analyzed information from the manufacturers, including what is actually included in each gummy and the benefits they purport to offer. We also ensured that they were providing reasonable and realistic usage recommendations and made third-party testing results available where appropriate.

Lab testing

We verifiedthat any claims made by the manufacturer were fully supported, both in terms of purity, safety, and dosages being supported by their third-party testing and their effectiveness being supported by the existing academic research as far as possible.

Firsthand product testing

We tested the best-reviewed and most promising gummies, in order to provide further experience and knowledge of their effectiveness and the subjective experience associated with taking them, as well as of the ordering process and customer service offered by each of these gummy brands.

How To Find The Best THC Gummies For You

Choosing the best weed gummy isn’t easy, especially with the huge number of THC edibles on the market, and there are many things to consider, some of which can be highly subjective. The following are some of the major factors which you’ll want to consider when deciding which one is right for you.

Brand reputation

You’ll want to ensure that you’re buying your THC edibles from a trustworthy and reliable brand so that you can be confident that you’re getting what you’re paying for with no nasty surprises. Every company on our list is transparent and open enough for us to be confident placing our trust in them and recommending them to you.

Potency

Whilst gummies can be cut down to allow for smaller dosages, it’s more convenient if you can buy your THC edibles with a strength that matches your desired dose.

Ingredients

Different gummies contain different levels of other cannabinoids. These cannabinoids can have additional benefits, but some people may prefer a product that solely focuses on THC.

Taste and texture

Although these are subjective factors, all of the gummies that made our top list were very much enjoyed by our team and were spoken about very positively in reviews, meaning that there’s a good chance they’ll suit your palate too.

What Are The Benefits of THC Gummies?

THC gummies provide all the physical and mental benefits you’d expect from cannabis edibles and other cannabis products, whilst coming in many great flavors such as beach buzz, blue dream berry, and sour apple, and being easy to transport and take no matter where you are.

THC edibles have an impressive amount of physical benefits. They’re capable of reducing inflammation and relieving pain as well as improving sleep and helping to regulate the appetite.

They have also been shown to be effective even in extreme circumstances, controlling vomiting in those currently undergoing chemotherapy and in reducing symptoms for those with multiple sclerosis.

On the mental side, THC edibles can lead to general improvements in overall mood, as well as addressing issues caused by conditions such as depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and even PTSD.

How Do You Use THC Gummies?

Gummies are one of the easiest to consume THC products, and can be taken quickly and conveniently, no matter where you are. The first thing you need to do is to determine your dosage, which may equate to less than one thc gummy worth of THC, especially if you have gummies with 10mg of THC.

Generally, new users may want to start with low dose THC products, and gradually increase the amount they take as they become more experienced with THC and how they personally respond to it.

It takes a while to digest THC edibles, including gummies, which is why it may take some time for you to feel the full effects.

How Long Does It Take For THC Gummies To Kick In?

Generally, you’ll start to feel the effects of THC gummies between 30 and 90 minutes after you consume them, but you’ll likely not be feeling the full effects until two or three hours have passed. The effects can be long-lasting too, typically lasting between four and twelve hours.

Do THC Edibles Have Any Side Effects?

As with any psychologically active compound, there is a chance that you will experience some side effects when you take THC gummies or other cannabis edibles.

However, the majority of side effects experienced when consuming cannabis edibles are linked to consuming an excessive amount, either due to failing to follow the appropriate recommendations or due to inconsistent potency of the products.

If you do experience adverse effects even when taking THC gummies at an appropriate dose, it’s recommended to discontinue use. If you’re at all concerned about your symptoms or they persist longer than expected, you should seek medical advice.

It is also important to note that THC and cannabis products in general can interact with certain prescription medications, so if this may be an issue for you, you should speak to your doctor before consuming any THC products.

Frequently Asked Questions Are THC gummies legal?

Yes, the passing of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, also known as the 2018 Farm Act, made it federally legal to manufacture and sell cannabis products provided they met certain conditions. Specifically, they must be derived from hemp, rather than marijuana, cannabis plants and must have a THC concentration no higher than 0.3% by dry weight.

THC products sold in the US by a reputable brand, including all the brands in our top seven picks, will meet these requirements and will have the lab testing results to back this up, meaning you can shop with confidence. Those of you located outside of the US may wish to check your local laws regarding THC and cannabis products before purchasing.

What is the difference between delta 8 and delta 9?

Delta 8 THC and delta 9 THC are both cannabinoids that are naturally found in the cannabis plant, particularly in the leaves and flowers, with delta 9 being significantly more common than delta 8, which is only present in small quantities. The two compounds have similar benefits but delta 9 THC is notably more powerful.

Can consuming THC gummies cause me to fail a drug test?

The majority of drug tests that include cannabis usage will look for delta 9 THC, meaning that consumption of THC gummies or any other weed edibles could potentially cause a positive test result even though they’re completely legal.

Whilst in practice they may or may not show up on the test, depending on how long it’s been since you’ve taken them, the amount of THC you’ve consumed, and your individual metabolism, you may be best avoiding taking the risk if you are anticipating a drug test and it’s important for you to have a clean result.

What is the entourage effect?

The entourage effect is the ability of the various cannabinoid chemicals, including THC, to work synergistically in order to enhance and regulate their psychoactive and other beneficial effects.

This means that you could potentially experience better results using THC edibles that also include full-spectrum CBD than ones that only include THC. Everyone is different though, and some may still prefer the pure THC experience.

Conclusion

There are so many benefits to taking weed edibles. Best THC gummies represent the easiest and most convenient way for you to experience these benefits, even when compared to other forms of cannabis edibles, and are properly lab tested.

Although they all have their unique pros and cons to consider, the seven brands of THC gummies that have made it onto our list represent the cream of the crop, and any of them will be the ideal addition to your lifestyle, boosting your mood and providing relief from any symptoms you may have.
