We put most of our food in the refrigerator to keep it fresh longer. But in reality, not all food needs to be kept in the refrigerator.
Some products spoil faster in the refrigerator. Let's talk about these products in more detail.
Bread
Many people have long since stopped storing bread in bread bins. They choose the refrigerator for storage. They believe that bread stays fresh longer in the refrigerator.
But in reality, the humidity in the refrigerator is higher, so the bread can get moldy faster. In addition, the bread will absorb the smells of other products that are in the refrigerator. It is unlikely that the bread will be tasty if it is soaked with the smell of herring. Therefore, bread should be stored in a bread bin.
Fruits
Some fruits can spoil in the refrigerator. In addition, fruits lose their taste in the cold. Therefore, buy a small amount of fruit so that you can eat it within two or three days. And store it in a vase.
If the fruit is cut, it is necessary to wrap it in cling film for storage. If you are going to store the fruit for more than three days, then put it on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Again, it is not advisable to store it for more than a week.
Vegetables
Many vegetables change their taste in the refrigerator. For example, potatoes become sweetish. And carrots can even become moldy. Therefore, vegetables should be stored in a dry place at room temperature. Also, each type of vegetable should have its own container.
Honey
In the refrigerator, honey loses its beneficial properties. In addition, it is stored in the refrigerator for a shorter time than in a dry and dark room.
Chocolate
Many people have a habit of storing chocolate in the refrigerator. But it is better to store chocolate at room temperature. This way it will retain its original appearance. Besides, chilled chocolate does not taste as good.
Basil
Greens are stored better in a cool place. But this does not apply to basil. Cold is contraindicated for it, because it quickly withers. Therefore, it is better to store it in a warm place. But it should be placed in a vase with water like a bouquet of flowers.
Earlier we talked about why you shouldn’t keep empty jars at home.
