Aroma Sensei Fruits are delicate and can lose their quality or nutrients if mishandled. Avoid these **5 common mistakes** to keep your fruits fresh and nutritious:
### 1. **Storing All Fruits Together**
Certain fruits, like bananas, apples, and avocados, emit **ethylene gas**, which speeds up ripening and can spoil nearby fruits. Keep ethylene-producing fruits separate from others to avoid overripening.
### 2. **Washing Fruits Too Early**
Washing fruits before storage introduces moisture that can promote mold growth. Instead, wash them just before eating or using them.
### 3. **Not Storing Them Properly**
- Some fruits, like berries and cherries, need refrigeration to stay fresh.
- Others, like bananas and mangoes, are best kept at room temperature until ripe.
Know where each fruit thrives to prevent spoilage.
### 4. **Ignoring Bruises and Damages**
Bruised or damaged fruits can develop mold quickly and spread it to others. Regularly check your fruits, and remove any that are overripe or damaged.
### 5. **Peeling or Juicing Too Early**
Peeling fruits or juicing them long before consumption exposes them to air, causing **oxidation** that depletes nutrients and alters flavor. Always prep fruits as close to eating time as possible.
