GLAD® Food Protection Tips for Fruit
How to store Avocados
Allow avocados to ripen at room temperature. Once ripe, whole avocados should be refrigerated. Avocado pulp contains an enzyme which causes the avocado to turn brown when in contact with the air. Keep the air out and the moisture in by tightly wrapping cut avocados in GLAD® ClingWrap, pressing the wrap against the flesh. GLAD® ClingWrap keeps your Avocados fresh up to 3x longer*

How to store Bananas
Separating individual bananas from the bunch makes them last longer. Placing a banana in a GLAD® Snap Lock Bag helps prevent browning and extends the lifetime. Refrigerating bananas will extend their life, but will cause the skin to turn black, however the fruit inside remains fine.

How to store Berries - Strawberries / Blueberries / Blackberries
Wash berries in a white vinegar (1 cup) and water (3 cups) solution. The vinegar helps kill the bacteria and germs, and the water helps prevent molding . Rinse and place them in a bowl lined with paper towels and covered with GLAD ClingWrap. Even after a full week, less than 1% of the moisture escapes. You’ll be bowled over by the freshness.
