we know APPLES are harvested in the fall, but I could never understand how United States Apples are on our market shelves so late out of season and look so fresh.. I may have thought Apples would be imported from the Southern Hemisphere but that isn’t the case either as the article states only 5% of Apples are imported... It’s a good read... cellie...

After harvest, apples can be stored for months in controlled atmosphere storage rooms where the temperature, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and humidity levels are adjusted to put them into hibernation.
