How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining organic Gala apples in the refrigerator. Keep them in a cool, dark place, ideally in a crisper drawer. Avoid washing them until just before you plan to eat or use them, as moisture can accelerate spoilage. Proper storage will help preserve their crispness and flavor for an extended period.
