Common ways
to preserve fruits

Peaches are best stored at room temperature because they are easily damaged and do not last long. They are sensitive to low temperatures and lose their unique juiciness when left in a cold environment. So, store them in a cool and dark place with good ventilation. It is a good idea to chill them in the refrigerator for an hour or two before eating.
