I’ll never forget when I moved out of my parents’ house and got my first apartment. I suddenly had so many things to think about from paying bills and doing household chores to going grocery shopping.
I made a lot of beginner’s mistakes, wasting both time and money. But it’s okay. Sometimes, you just have to learn the hard way.
One thing that I used to do, but have since learned is a big mistake, is to put almost all perishable food in the fridge. Everything would stay fresh, I thought!
But what I didn’t realize was that some foods are actually worse off in there. They simply go bad — and have to be thrown out unnecessarily.
So when I saw this list, I was shocked. Here are 13 foods you should never put in the fridge!
Potatoes
The starch in potatoes turns into sugar much faster — and your potatoes become sweeter and grittier.
Spices
They lose flavor and your recipes won’t turn out the way they’re supposed to.
Oils
They change color and texture.
Basil
It wilts faster in the fridge – it needs heat!
Apples
They hold up better outside of the fridge.
Bread
It gets dry in the fridge.
Garlic
It not only loses flavor but also gets rubbery and moldy.
Onions
They get soft and moldy. It’s best to store them in a dark place at room temperature.
Tomatoes
The cold air stops them from ripening, which means they don’t taste as good.
Coffee
It loses flavor and absorbs other smells and flavors.
Honey
It crystallizes and changes flavor.
Bananas
They lose nutrients, ripen much slower, turn brown and rot.
Avocados
They stop ripening in the fridge. On the other hand if you have ripe avocados that you aren’t going to eat immediately, you can store them in the fridge.
I had a few of these foods in my fridge before I researched this article. Now that I keep them out of the fridge, everything tastes better! What about you? Do you keep some of these foods in the refrigerator? Try storing them outside of your fridge and see how much better they taste!
