Apples I leave out. Bananas I leave out. Citrus depends on how much space I have. I am more likely to remember to eat it if it's in my fruit bowl on the table. But I am more likely to like it if it's cold. Softer fruits like peaches and pears all go in the fridge.

I come from a fridge family, and my apartment has been warm enough that everything but bananas goes in.

Fridges make peaches go all mealy.

No fridge for peaches.

It has never occurred to me to refrigerate fruit. Except grapes, those go in the fridge. I don't eat a lot of fruit, so I generally don't buy more than I'll eat in a couple days.

Which reminds me of the apple and plum languishing on the counter. Guess I eat one of them. Right after I finish this bottle of cider.

I leave apples out unless I bought a large number. I don't like cold apples because I have temperature-sensitive teeth. Bananas stay out. Peaches and plums will continue to ripen after they're picked and are usually shipped before they're ripe. They don't ripen well in the refrigerator. Cherries, strawberries and blueberries go in the frig, because they'll mold almost instantly out.

Fridges make peaches go all mealy.

Usually if I wait to fridge the peaches until after they're ripe, they don't get mealy. But man, a mealy peach is a crime against all things good. HATE the unpleasant surprise of a mealy peach.

Nora, smonster - insent.

Hey Tep - insent in a minnit.

Grapes and berries in fridge. Other fruit out.

Do you, personally, refrigerate fruit like apples, peaches, and pears, or leave them out of the fridge until you eat them?

If it needs to be kept and is ripe, I fridge. My place is too damn warm in summer not to fridge. But I pull them out and want to eat them at much closer to room temp.

I put it all in the fridge usually. Otherwise I end up with a bowl of fruit on the counter thinking "if it's out I'll eat it more!" and then a week later theres fruit flies and something is rotting. Oops.
