Selection - Choose apples that
don't dent when you press your fingers against them.
Storage - When taking your apples
home, it is best to store them in your refrigerator. They
can keep for about six weeks this way. (HINT

are sensitive to the ethylene gas (a natural gas) produced
by apples).
Preparation - Gently
run under cool water. Eat whole or cut into slices, with or
without skin.
