Storage and Handling of Apples
Apples need to be kept cold immediately after harvest so that they are fresh and crunchy when they reach their destination. Apple growers use two main types of storage: cold storage and controlled atmosphere (or CA) storage.
Apples kept in cold storage are chilled to around zero degrees Celsius. They are kept at this temperature to slow down their ripening.
CA storage stands for controlled atmosphere storage. The air that we breathe consists mostly of oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen. Apples in CA storage are stored in an airtight room with less oxygen and more carbon dioxide than there is in the air we breathe everyday. CA storage extends the life of apples so we can enjoy Nature's Crunchy Munchy all year-round!
At home, apples should be stored in your refrigerator in a plastic bag with small holes in it. It is important to remove from the bag any apples that are bruised. One bruised apple can spoil the whole bunch!
