damaged if handled incorrectly.
You can get a greater return if
the following points are observed.

days only, longer than this and
chill injury occurs.
Fruit will not ripen under 14°C.
Extended periods at this temp
will lead to chill injury.
During Winter store fruit
in a warm area and cover to
hold in their own warmth.
Best temperature range for
ripening is 18° to 24°C.
Shelf life is short so buy small
quantities more frequently.
Avoid small (under 300g)
and dark green (immature)
fruit.
