- Chard: Store unwashed in a plastic bag in the fridge. Wash thoroughly before use and trim any tough stem ends.
- Strawberries: Store unwashed in their container in the fridge. Strawberries pair well with tropical fruits such as bananas or mangoes. Bring to room temperature before serving for best flavor. Wash before use.
- Avocado: Store unripe avocados in paper bag at room temperature. Refrigerate when ripe for 2-3 days.

To ripen, place in a brown paper bag and store at room temperature for 2-5 days, away from direct sunlight. Do not store unripened fruit in the fridge, as it will not ripen properly once stored this way. Once cut, avocados can oxidize quickly—the addition of lemon juice can help retard this process.
