Why your fruits turn overripe when stored together: The separation hack
Fruits release ethylene gas, a natural ripening agent, causing them to mature rapidly when stored together. This invisible gas acts like a biological alarm, accelerating spoilage. Understanding this process, especially the difference between climacteric and non-climacteric fruits, allows for better storage. Separating ethylene-sensitive produce and ensuring good ventilation are key to extending freshness.
