Keeping the “crunch”
The large packing houses use Controlled Atmosphere store (C.A.) to keep apples at their just-picked flavor and crunch year-round. C.A. is a natural strorage process. Newly picked apples are placed in rooms where most of the oxygen has been removed. The reduced oxygen levels slows the apple’s natural respiration down to almost a standstill.
To keep apples crisp at home, keep them cold. Apples will soften 10 times faster at room temperature. So place them in a plastic bag in your refrigerator or keep them in the basement where it’s cold.
