1、Don't store fruits together. 不要把水果放在一起。

 

Many fruits, such as bananas, avocados and peaches, produce ethylene gas, which acts like a ripening² hormone³ and can speed up the ripening process of other produce.

许多水果，如香蕉、牛油果和桃子，会产生乙烯气体，它就像一种催熟激素，可以加快其他农产品的成熟过程。

 

2、Store correctly. 正确储藏。

 

Avocados, tomatoes, mangoes, melons, apples and pears will continue to ripen¹ if left out on a countertop, whereas fruits such as grapes, citrus and berries will only deteriorate⁴ and should be refrigerated.

如果把牛油果、西红柿、芒果、甜瓜、苹果和梨放在桌面上，它们会继续变得成熟；而葡萄、柑橘类和浆果类水果如果暴露在常温环境中只会变质，应该冷藏。

 

3、Avoid cutting. 避免切割。

 

Once you've cut fruit and vegetables, they rapidly soften⁵ and can go bad even in a cold fridge.

一旦你切开水果和蔬菜，它们会迅速变软，即使放在冰箱里也会变坏。
