Also, what fruits and vegetables should not be stored together?

Cucumbers stand alone Many fruits, such as tomatoes, bananas, and melons, produce ethylene gas, a ripening agent that speeds up spoilage. Cucumbers are super sensitive to this ethylene gas, so they need their own place or they'll spoil faster.

Beside above, can all fruits be stored together? It's pretty simple really: not all fruits and veggies are compatible. Some produce emits ethylene gas, a natural plant hormone that helps fruit ripen. They can be stored together, in a fruit bowl or the refrigerator drawer. Vegetables are generally ethylene-sensitive, though some fruits make it into this category, too.
