Yahoo Lifestyle cited University of Maine Cooperative Extension in the article “5 fruits and vegetables that can stay fresh for months.” The article recommended keeping long-lasting fruits and vegetables on hand in addition to frozen food and pantry staples — apples, potatoes, beets, onions and carrots. Apples can keep for up to four months with proper storage, according to an Extension guide on cold storage conditions for tree fruits.
