Re: Climacteric/Non-Climacteric Fruit
Oranges ripen after picking. The idea they don't seems to be a ploy by the orange growers/importers to get people to accept unripe yellow sour oranges as edible. So they put it in the fridge because they'd rather it not go bad, but by doing that, they keep it from ripening.
