It’s a belief that keeping the food items in the refrigerator can keep them fresh for a long time. However, there are certain specific products you must not keep in the fridge to maintain their natural flavor. Such food items should be kept in a cool, dry place, preferably at room temperature. Please scroll down to know about such food items.
Honey
If you’re keeping honey in the fridge, then this could hamper the taste of the syrup. Honey is a high sugar substance that has a natural preservative content. Keeping it in the refrigerator crystallizes the sugar and forms it in a rock. Honey does not need to be refrigerated. To enjoy the natural flavors, keep the honey jar in the dark or cool place, i.e., at room temperature.
Coffee
Keeping the coffee in the fridge would damage the flavor of the coffee. This is because the moisture in the refrigerator makes the coffee clump and decomposes it in a faster mode. In addition, coffee naturally absorbs the smell of other ingredients which are around it in the fridge. Hence, keep coffee in an airtight container in a dark place (room temperature).
Garlic
Keeping garlic in the fridge reduces its flavor, imparts the smell onto other food, and spoils them. Instead, please keep it in a dry place with good air circulation.
Pickles
Pickles will stay fresh outside. Keeping it in the fridge spoils the pickle by the moisture. Instead, store it in an open space with good air circulation.
Bananas
Riper the banana, the better it tastes. Refrigerating the bananas standstill in the process of ripening and losing their nutrient values. Around 15-20°C temperatures are needed for bananas to ripen. Store them at room temperature to have natural health benefits.
Bread
Cold temperature changes the structure of bread and makes the taste stale. It is OK to freeze the bread, but instead, keeping it in the fridge causes them to dry faster. The refrigerator can make them hard and non-chewy. Store them in the air light bread box.
