Most refrigerators come with two produce storage drawers. They're made to store fresh food in low- or high-humidity conditions. Depending on the model of your fridge, you may be able to adjust each drawer’s settings separately. In other models, the drawers may have fixed humidity levels. Newer refrigerators often have a compartment-wide pantry drawer with adjustable temperature.
A low-humidity setting or drawer is designed for fruits and vegetables that expel a lot of ethylene gas and aren’t prone to losing moisture. The drawer vents the gases to keep the produce from rotting so quickly. For best results, this drawer should only be filled two-thirds full.
Low-humidity produce includes:
Before putting bananas and avocados in the fridge, make sure they are ripe.
A high-humidity setting or drawer is designed for fruits and vegetables that are sensitive to ethylene gas exposure. This produce needs higher moisture levels to stay fresh. The high-humidity drawer is sealed to keep moisture in. This seal also helps prevent exposure to any gas that escapes from the other produce drawer.
When kept in this drawer, leafy greens won’t dry out or wilt so soon. Keep this produce drawer about three-fourths full for best results.
