Storage Notes: Internal breakdown (mealy, woolly, browned or translucent flesh, with flavor lost first) is the main cause of deterioration and develops faster at intermediate cool temperatures than at the near-freezing optimum, so fruit should be cooled quickly and held at the optimum. Highest freezing point: -1.5°C. Source: USDA Agriculture Handbook 66 (rev. 2016).
