Fresh produce requires specific temperature and humidity conditions for optimal storage. The document provides a table that lists these optimal conditions for common fruits and vegetables, including temperatures ranging mostly from 30-35°F and humidity levels of 90-100%. Many produce items are sensitive to chilling, freezing, water loss or exposure to ethylene gas during storage.
