Your fruits are spoiling because you're storing them wrong, according to TikTok
I am sick and tired of seeing my fruits rot after just a day or two of purchasing them. After all, fruits are expensive — and I want to keep them as fresh as possible before seeing those irksome signs of spoiling.
As it turns out, according to a TikTok with over 200,000 likes, the reason why you're seeing your fruits wither away so quickly is because you're likely storing them poorly. TikTokker @QueenTayShops offered a few tips and tricks on how to prevent your fruits from rotting too quickly.

"You let oxygen get around your food," @QueenTayShops said. "That cold air [from the fridge] — it ages your fruit."
The TikTokker suggested storing fruits like strawberries and blueberries in airtight containers. According to Wirecutter, you can, indeed, keep your refrigerated produce fresh longer by keeping them sealed in containers with tight-fitting lids, but "cold air" is not the rot-causing culprit. "These containers hold moisture, preventing produce from dehydrating, and they help protect sensitive produce from the effects of ethylene gas," Wirecuttersaid.
Citing Natalia Thompson, the CEO and Recipe Creator of Flavorful Home, CNETnotes that apples, bananas and tomatoes are "heavy producers" of ethylene gas, so if possible, try not to keep them in bunches — separate them if you can.
Wirecutter says that three factors effect your produce's freshness:
temperature
humidity
how long ago an item was harvested before you brought it home
