Oranges and mandarins are harvested at their optimum point of ripeness without undergoing subsequent artificial ripening, coloring or waxing treatments. As they are fresh oranges they retain all their properties and vitamins with way more flavor. Here’s how to keep them:
- Take them out of the delivery cardboard box
- PLACE: Find a cool and dry place in your house, or a covered terrace or gallery, where they can be away from exposure to strong odors, heat sources, the sun’s rays and rain.
- CONTAINER: Now you can have your fruts in a large container, where they have the necessary space between them and the openings. Ideally, you can use a large wicker basket.
- FRUIT BOWL: Fill your fruit bowl every day from the oranges that you store in your basket. Remember to use a traditional wicker fruit bowl or any material with openings.
- If you have made a large order and it will take time to consume the oranges, you can leave a small part of the order in the fridge.
