Certain foods that many people are accustomed to putting in the refrigerator are best kept away from the cold.

But not everyone knows about it. As a result, some vegetables or fruits spoil faster.

Let's look at the most popular examples.

Tomatoes

Low temperatures and humidity reduce the shelf life of juicy tomatoes. Vegetables in the refrigerator quickly become soft and tasteless.

Such fruits should be left at room temperature, but away from sunlight.

Bananas

These fruits should also be kept away from cold.

In addition, it is important to remember that you should not keep them near other fruits. This is due to the fact that bananas emit gas, which makes other vegetables and fruits ripen faster, which means they can spoil faster.

Berries

These are not the kind of foods that will last long in the refrigerator.

Fresh berries can be frozen if you want to preserve their vitamins for a long time. You don't need to just leave them on the shelf with milk or cheese.

Bread

This product turns bread stale and tasteless at low temperatures. This is why housewives note that it is important to keep it in a closed bread box at room temperature.

Onion and garlic

Tasty and aromatic dishes are rarely possible without these products.

But such vegetables must be stored away from low temperatures and high humidity.

The optimal place is a cool, dark cabinet.

Previously, we talked about which vegetables and fruits can be stored in the refrigerator for the longest time.
