Refrigerated - for best shelf life and nutrient retention. Oranges last longest in a cool area that is well ventilated. They maintain their flavor and quality for up to six weeks when refrigerated between 35 - 50F degrees.

I prefer to store grapefruit in the refrigerator. If it has been cut, cover it with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge. If not, then you can either leave in out or put it in the fridge. Doesn't matter. Grapefruit are best stored between 50-55F degrees in a well ventilated, cool area away from moisture. The skin of the grapefruit can discolor if left in the refrigerator too long. Since in is a tropical fruit, it is sensitive to cold, but only superficially. Blemishes on the peel do not affect the flavor of the fruit inside.

Fresh pasteurized or fresh-squeezed Orange Juice should be stored in the refrigerator. If it is commercially processed and bottled and does not require refrigeration, then it can sit on the pantry shelf. Some people freeze their fresh-squeezed OJ.

Oranges do all right in the fridge for a little bit, but the fridge WILL dry them out. Your best option would be to keep them in a basket on your counter away from sunlight and only buy as many as you can reasonably eat in a week.

In my experience, Limes should be stored in a cool and dry space. If you have one of those refrigerators that have controlled temperatured for preserving veggies and fruits then you should go ahead and put them there. Make sure that its a dry place.

You can preserve mandarin oranges by canning them. They can be cut, peeled and placed tightly in cans full of plain water, their own juice, or sugar syrup.
