Keep your produce separate in your refrigerator's crisper. The reason being vegetables, like broccoli and asparagus will cause fruits to spoil faster because they release ethylene gas that will ripen your vegetables faster than normal. The ones do the most damage are pears, melons, and apples. so keep them apart from the rest! Onions and potatoes will last longer in your cabinet than in the refrigerator as will bananas and tomatoes.
