Not So Peachy Loss
Learning a hard lesson on how to store soft fruits
Do you remember the peaches I picked from my visit to a fall festival? Well, half of them were lost to mold ;w; Admittedly, it was my fault for leaving them all on the counter, stacked up in the bag I picked them with.
But I also didn’t expect them to go bad so quickly, it’s only been two days. I guess that’s why grocery stores pick them before they fully ripen; they wouldn’t survive being transported anyways. Something cool I learned is that the pits inside peaches are actually very easy to remove when they’re fully ripe :o
Now that I learned what the tradeoff is for picking them fresh off the farm versus buying them from the grocery store, next time I’m definitely going to refridgerate them ^^;
