Pumpkin
If you only buy and store pumpkins in October, we totally understand—after all, they’re mainly associated with Halloween and the Pumpkin Spice Latte season at Starbucks. But if you’re thinking about enjoying them in other months, keep in mind that pumpkins can spoil just two or three days after being refrigerated, so it’s best to avoid putting them in the fridge. Instead, keep them in a cool spot in your kitchen and let them ripen naturally at their own pace for the best results!
