I keep some fruits like apples, bananas and oranges out on the counter, and then fruits like strawberries and grapes in the refrigerator. For vegetables, I keep them all in the fridge, including baked potatoes...I buy the microwaveable kind that are wrapped in plastic.
How you store fruit and vegetables will have a major impact on their taste and texture when you serve them. Almost everything can be stored in the refrigerator except for bananas, tomatoes, potatoes, lemons, and limes. These items should be kept in a cool, dry area, but will experience strange changes if kept at too cold a temperature.
