•Storing certain fruits and vegetables together can accelerate spoilage due to ethylene gas release or differing moisture levels.
•Never store onions and potatoes together; onions' gas spoils potatoes, and potatoes' moisture spoils onions. Keep them separate in cool, dry, airy places.
•Tomatoes release ethylene gas, spoiling cucumbers. Store tomatoes at room temperature and cucumbers in the fridge.
•Apples' gas can spoil carrots and alter their taste; keep them in separate containers in the refrigerator.
•Bananas release high ethylene gas, causing peaches to ripen and spoil quickly. Also, store strawberries and blueberries separately.
