Vegetables are foods that spoil quite quickly.
However, there are some types of foods that really shouldn't be stored in the refrigerator.
Let's figure out which vegetables can only be harmed by the cold of the refrigerator.
Which 3 vegetables should not be stored in the refrigerator
The first vegetable that is contraindicated in cold is the tomato. Cold air has a detrimental effect on its taste and aroma, and the texture itself changes due to the destruction of membranes.
Therefore, it is better to leave tomatoes on the table.
The same goes for potatoes. When kept in the cold, the starch in the tubers turns into sugar, which is why the fruit tastes sweet.
This is why potatoes are stored in a cool, dark place where the air temperature never drops below three degrees Celsius.
You shouldn't store onions in the refrigerator either, as they start to rot and become moldy in conditions of high humidity. It's better to tie the heads together in a bundle and hang them on the wall.
