[YAKSON HOUSE] 10 FOODS YOU SHOULD NEVER KEEP IN THE FRIDGE
10 FOODS YOU SHOULD NEVER KEEP IN THE FRIDGE
When it comes to storing food properly,
there are many conventions that some
people swear by
and others will argue 'til the end of time.
Do you store bread
in the fridge, freezer or in a bread box?
Should you store tomatoes in the
fridge or on your counter top?
Chances are you have mistakenly been storing
some of these foods in your fridge.
Here are 10 foods you should not store in your fridge:
Tomatoes
Tomatoes will lose all
their flavor in the fridge.
The cold temperature breaks down the membranes inside the fruit walls.
The fridge will also
alter the texture of the tomato.
Keep tomatoes out in a
bowl or basket on the counter.
Basil
Basil will wilt faster
if left in the fridge,
and it will also absorb all the smells of the food
around it.
t's better to keep it
out,
sitting in a cup of fresh water,
like cut flowers.
Potatoes
Keeping a potato in the
cold temperature of your refrigerator
will turn its starch into sugar more
quickly.
Instead of putting
potatoes in the fridge,
store them in a paper bag in a cool-not cold-place.
Onions
If you put onions in the
fridge,
the moisture will eventually turn them soft and moldy.
Keep them in a
cool, dry place.
Avocados
If you want avocados to ripen,
definitely don't
put them in the refrigerator.
However, if you've bought an already-ripe avocado
that you don't want to use right away,
that can go in the fridge.
Garlic
Eventually, garlic will start to sprout in the
fridge,
and it may also get rubbery and moldy.
You should instead keep garlic
in a cool, dry place.
Bread
You refrigerator will dry out your bread quickly.
Unless it's sliced sandwich bread
that you intend to use within a few days,
keep bread out on the counter or in the freezer.
Olive Oil
You should store olive oil in a cool, dark place,
but not in the fridge,
where it will condense and turn to a harder,
almost butter-like consistency.
Coffee
If you leave coffee in the refrigerator,
it will lose its flavor and actually take on
some of the odors in the fridge.
You should store coffee in a cool, dark place.
Honey
There is no need to store honey in the fridge.
Keeping honey in the refrigerator can cause it to crystallize.
