Avoid Putting These Six Foods In The Refrigerator
Some foods can suffer from changes in texture, flavour, or even spoil faster when put in the refrigerator. In order to avoid this, here are seven foods that should not be put into the refrigerator.
Onions
Onions have no place in the refrigerator. Instead, they should be stored in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration can cause onions to become mushy or develop mould.
Garlic
Garlic bulbs also should not be refrigerated as they can sprout in the fridge. It is best to keep them in a cool, dry place with good air circulation. Individual cloves can be stored in a small, breathable container.
Bananas
Refrigeration can turn banana peels brown, although the fruit inside remains fine. You may need to keep the unripe bananas at room temperature until they ripen, and then consider refrigeration if you need to prolong their freshness.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes are sensitive to cold temperatures, which can cause their texture to turn mealy and dull their flavour and it is one food ingredient we can avoid from the refrigerator. Instead, store ripe tomatoes at room temperature and use them within a few days. Unless of course you are storing for a long time where you blend and freeze.
Bread
While refrigerating might be good for some foods, refrigerating bread only makes it go stale faster. The best option is for you to store bread in a cool, dry place to maintain its freshness instead.
Citrus fruits
Citrus fruits like oranges and lemons can be stored at room temperature for about a week without losing quality. Putting them in the refrigerator can alter their texture and flavour.
