No doubt the refrigerator keeps our fruits and vegetables fresh but there are certain items that should never be refrigerated. Here is the list of seven foods that must be kept outside of the refrigerator.

Tomatoes

Cold temperatures can cause tomatoes to lose flavour and become mushy.

Garlic

This kitchen staple can sprout and become rubbery if kept in a refrigerator.

Bananas

If you refrigerate the banana, then its skin will turn brown quickly.

Onions

Onions should never be kept in fridge as doing so will make them moldy and mushy.

Honey

Honey can crystallize and become hard if kept in the refrigerator.

Potatoes

Refrigeration can convert the starch in potatoes into sugar, affecting their taste and texture.

Coffee

Stored in the fridge, your coffee is more likely to pick up other flavours around it. Instead store it in a dark place packed inside a sealed container.
