What to Look For

Always select apples that are firm to the touch, with no soft spots. There should be no bruising or areas of broken skin. The skin should be smooth, as wrinkling indicates age and moisture loss.

Storage Tips

An apple can last up to one week. They become bad once they soften or turn slightly brown. If they are soft, then they are overripe and will barely last a couple of days and will bruise easily. Apples are preserved best in the refrigerator, especially during summer months.
