5 Foods You Should Not Refrigerate

 Some meals shouldn't be chilled since doing so can change their flavor, consistency, or general quality. The following five foods should be kept outside of the refrigerator:

1 Tomatoes: Tomatoes that have been refrigerated may have lost their flavor and developed a mealy texture. Instead, keep them in a cool, dry place at room temperature and utilize them within a few days.

2 Potatoes: Colder temperatures can cause the starch in potatoes to break down and turn into sugar, giving them a sweet or grittier flavor. Potatoes should be stored in a cold, dark, and ventilated pantry or cabinet.

3 Onions: When kept in the refrigerator, onions can turn mushy and moldy. They should ideally be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place with excellent air flow.

4 Garlic: Garlic that has been refrigerated may sprout and get rubbery. Garlic bulbs should be kept in a pantry or other airtight container that is cool, dry, and well-ventilated.

Keep an 5: Avocado: at room temperature until you're ready to consume it to allow it to ripen. When an avocado is mature, you can store it in the fridge to increase its shelf life, but you should avoid doing so with unripe avocados since it can hinder the ripening process.

When choosing how to store these goods, use your best judgment and take local variables into account. Keep in mind that the ideal storage conditions can vary based on factors like humidity and climate.
