Keep these factors in mind when storing produce: 1  Soft fruits should not be stored too long. It is often best to buy soft fruit as you need it, keeping very little on hand. 2  Unripe fruit can be ripened at storeroom temperatures of 10Â°C to 15Â°C (50Â°F to 59Â°F). It will ripen much more slowly under refrigerator conditions.
