Weird thing about these apples I have

Your crisper must be doing it's job. I know mine has a lever on it so I can adjust the amount of airflow into the drawers but sometimes it is obviously not adjusted right because everything will rot super fast. That is great your apples lasted so long.

Actually that is a thing that happens a lot if the apple was treated properly when it was shipped and in the warehouse and then in the store. Apples are treated to last a long time because if you think about it there is that long period of time that no apples can be harvested and so they need to store them. If they are kept at the right temperture and are not constantly in and out hot to cold they will last a very long time and actually become sweeter. My father is a produce broker and handles shipping produce to warehouses all over the U.S. and it is amazing what a difference the truck simply not shipping products at the right temperture can do to the product itself... I've had apples that turn to mush and others that didn't. However I have noticed that the best luck in keeping apples for a long time is if they are the harder ones, like the fuji or gala apples. Macintosh are usually the worse at spoiling easily if not kept right.

Actually in the old days before refridgerator people stores there fall fruits and veg ei apples, carrots, rutabaga, onion etc in the cold cellar for months to last them throughout the winter months. A fresly picked organic apple will stay in the fridge for months but not the onr that has pesticide.

I love that! We have what we call the 'drawer of life' in our fridge. I don't know what it is about that drawer, but apples, oranges, limes, bananas, everything! just lasts about four or fifty times longer than anywhere else in the fridge. If they stay in there too long, they dessicate, but they have to be in there for a loooooong time for that. I'd love to know what causes some areas of the fridge to keep veggies and fruits better.

really?? i haven't tried that or experienced that yet... maybe it's the packaging or something in the fridge that makes it still edible...

I've had apples last a really long time in my fridge; I always wondered if they had something unique about them or if apples really do last that long. Glad to hear someone else has experienced it too!

i dont think so...and what are mutated apples ...never heard of them ....this boggles me as much it is boggling you.....

lol at mutated apples! no i cant say that i have ever had apples for that long and after a few weeks mine tend to go all mushy and horrible usually tho they never last that long as the kids love eating them!
