Organic fruit and veg box
justjax
05-04-2012
I've had an Organic fruit and veg box delivered for the first time. Don't have loads of room in the fridge for it all. What can be kept in the cardboard box and I assume stored in a cool area?

Contents are:

Asparagus
Mushrooms
Lettuce
Carrots
Celeriac (Turnip)
Butternut squash
Red peppers
Pears
Apples
Bananas
Clementines

I assume you would store them in the same place as you would store them if they were not organic.

I would only keep

Asparagus
Mushrooms
Lettuce
red peppers in the fridge.

The rest will be fine kept cool. I never refrigerate fruit (unless soft fruit like strawberries) .

Thanks all, it wasn't the fact they Are organic, more about me not being sure what should or shouldn't be kept in the fridge, tend to throw everything in there but appreciate that not everything needs to be refrigerated.

Anyway, have put mushrooms and lettuce in the fridge, will go put the peppers and asparagus too.

I should imagine the mushrooms didn't come in a box with film on, but if they did, take the plastic off or they will sweat.

Why does the Celeriac have Turnip in brackets?

I did wonder but didn't bother questioning it.

Maybe because some call it turnip celery?

Do they? Never heard of that before , it does not look like a turnip, nor tastes like one and its not even from the same family.. but I suppose it looks more like a turnip than celery learn something new everyday on here.
