Do you store fruit in the fridge?

This applies to most but not all, in case of spoiling the flavour. You may cut it up and fridge or freeze. I dunno, you tell me.

No, not unless is is very hot or the fruit is cut up in some way.
Cut up apples we store in the fridge.
Ripe bananas in peak summer may also go in the fridge.

Edit: I may add that our fridge is pretty cool at about 3*C for the beer, and fruits mostly turn out too cold to eat comfortably when stored at such temperatures.

I prefer not to. My wife does.

Guess who wins.

What about the eggs?

Seems like his eggs are chilled too

Wife prefers to keep them in my pants. I prefer them out.

Guess who wins.

(And im american, not some euro-heathen so eggs go in the fridge…where they belong. Just as the bird intended. Not under its hot feathered cloaca)

 

[nush]

I do because it's hot, but I get them up to room temp before eating.

There are many countries in europe.
In Austria we also usually store eggs in the fridge.

Sounds like youre one of the logical europeans. Congrats

 

[Con-Z-epT]

In the bedroom for cuddling!

Spoiler: ...

Never in the fridge. They are alowed to run around freely.

 

[joedan]

Uhm. It defends in the fruit

 

[Jennings]

Bananas, no. But I don't eat those, so I don't care that they're left out.

Everything else, yes. I prefer cold crisp fruit. I don't like room temperature fruit.

Exceptions include fruit that still needs to ripen.

 

[Porcile]

No one likes a soft banana. Nice and firm. Something to peel back and chew on. That's the way.

 

[Tams]

Only soft fruit like berries.

Though my general rule is I store it as I bought it. The only exceptions being if I know I'm not going to be able to eat all of some fresh fruit or vegetables that aren't refrigerated in the shops, in which case I will refrigerate them.

 

[Tams]

No, it's just most Europeans don't fuck up their eggs due to sheer laziness before selling them.

 

[Meicyn]

As with most things, it depends. Pineapple? That has to sit on the counter so it can ripen to a golden hue on the outside, then you cut it up. Once cut, then it gets stored in the fridge.

Bananas stay on the counter. Oranges go in the fridge.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Just follow whatever you supermarket is doing.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

I voted no, but it really depends on the fruit. Blueberries, yes. Apples, no.

 

[22:22:22]

Yes. An ice cold Apple....



Chocolate and candy as well

 

[chromhound]

Yes except for Banana, watermelon and pineapple (until cut)

That's apeeling.

Cold apples doe.

 

[Zeroing]

Only watermelon! Other than that no. I’m currently eating avocado yummy

 

[Jsisto]

Generally no. If I have a piece of fruit that is slightly overripe and mushy(like say a stonefruit) but not to point of being spoiled, I might throw it in the fridge or freezer for a little while to firm it up so it’s easier to eat.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Cold apples doe.

I dunno, I feel like the flavor is better at room temp.

 

[EverydayBeast]

 

[Artoris]

Storing them in a fridge does more harm than good

 

[Zeroing]

The banana are still green wtf! People eat them like that? My parents have a banana plantation. You need to put them outside to get ripe, too yellow means they will get too soft and mid green has no flavor!

No bananas here, but the mushroom season is approaching, and I look forward to it

 

[Dark Star]

Pretty much every fruit besides bananas. I buy them very green.

Overall I like my fruit cold, and the fridge keeps them fresh. Especially berries and watermelon and apples and stuff like that.

Send me some of those “magical” ones for me

 

[22:22:22]

I think I prefer cold applepie as well

 

[dr_octagon]

1 person so far doesn't eat fruit, maybe they have an allergy.

 

[haxan7]

Ripe fruit goes in the fridge. Fruit that needs to ripen goes in my fruit basket. Tomatoes go in the fruit basket.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Yeah fridge is for stopping the ripening process... pretty basic science stuff. Many fruits rarely if ever need that, but certain ones that "over-ripen" too quickly sometimes need it. Avocado for instance it's nice to find that perfect ripeness then stop the process.

 

[Artoris]

Send me some of those “magical” ones for me

I am into the food ones and I can't say I have seen anything "magical" although I would recognize some of them

 

[Putonahappyface]

Depends on the fruit. Berries in the fridge and bananas in the cupboard.

 

[DragoonKain]

Once they’re ripe, yeah. If they’re not ripe, put ‘em by the window.

(I have no idea if that actually does anything, but I convinced myself it does)

Have you checked your neighbour’s fridge?

That’s where they hide the drugs

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Yes. But not for bananas.

I like my fruit cold.

Apples, yes, because they're nice and crunchy after. Pears, peaches, nectarines I leave out to ripen (sometimes plums if I buy them slightly unripe). I try to buy just enough for what I'm gonna eat that day or two. Peaches and pears, of course, you usually have to buy a day or three ahead of time to let them ripen. Bananas, of course, have to stay out, but they're excellent frozen once ripened for use in smoothies.

Berries, always in fridge.

 

[dr_octagon]

avocado

 

[Zeroing]

I ate those before it was cool.

Cos you don't put them in the fridge?

 

[Putonahappyface]

I'll chime in just because others have. I only have organic eggs and they never go in the fridge . The only fruit that doesn't go into my fridge is bananas, but that's not a deal breaker I'd still enjoy it all the same. Also who the fuck doesn't put watermelon in the fridge!

 

[Zeroing]

Cos you don't put them in the fridge?

Early 90s when I was a kid I remember my grandfather picking some and then I would eat them.

So maybe I wasn’t a hipster but maybe a hippie???

 

[Fuz]

Mostly yes. I don't like when they mature too much, I prefer them less sugary and firmer.
Avocados depends on how ripe they are. Too hard are left out of the fridge, obviously.
But I mostly don't have this problem 'cause we have an orchard and a vegetable garden behind my parents' home, so I just pick and eat at will. I can't really eat supermarket crap. Never buy meat and vegetables in supermarkets.

What about the eggs?

Supermarket shit eggs go in the fridge. House eggs don't.

too yellow means they will get too soft and mid green has no flavor!

I actually like the no-flavour ones. At least more that the very ripe.

 

[dr_octagon]

Guise, I have a dedicated thread for eggs, also known as a 'thregg' for any egg posts.

Please keep this thread vegan friendly.

Munch obliged.
