Cellar Instead of Fridge: This Trick Keeps Your Apples Fresh for Several Months

To store apples for several months, it is recommended to use a cellar, a cave, or a suitable garage instead of the refrigerator. These spaces provide favorable conditions with a cool, dark, and well-ventilated environment, around 4 to 10 °C, to slow down ripening. It is important to prevent the apples from touching each other by wrapping them individually if needed, to limit dehydration and mold spread. This method is based on traditional storage practices to reduce food waste.
