Fruit Cups

The main reason why you should avoid chilling your fruit cups is because refrigeration can accelerate the breakdown of enzymes in fruits. These enzymes play a crucial role in maintaining the texture and flavor of fresh fruit by breaking down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars.
When exposed to cold temperatures for an extended period, these enzymes become less effective resulting in a loss of sweetness and firmness. Additionally, the moisture content within a refrigerator can contribute to unwanted changes in the consistency of your favorite fruit cup.
