We had to wrap them in plastic wrap before they went into
the cooler. I assume that what you are experiencing is loss of water
from the fruit.

I do not know where you get it , but as I understand all the commercial
fruit is waxed lightly. I would be nice to be able to do that for small
quantities of fruit.
