Packaging

Cool, dry and ventilated packaging to prevent moisture buildup

Storage Notes: Susceptible mid- and late-season cultivars develop internal breakdown (mealy or leathery, browned, flavorless flesh that fails to ripen) 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).
