    Why do peaches taste better when you keep them in a paper bag for a day or two?

    here...

    peach storing

    Avoid peaches that are stored cold, rock hard, green or mushy, or have shriveled skins since they will never ripen properly or taste good.

    At home, store peaches on the counter at room temperature until ripe. To quicken the ripening process, place peaches in a paper bag until fully ripe. Adding ethylene-producing fruit like bananas and apple into the paper bag will accelerate further the ripening process. When ripe, peaches should be stored in the refrigerator until eaten, but only for a couple of days since the cold storage will reduce their juice and flavor.
