What not to keep in the fridge

  • Potatoes

Who never kept the potatoes in the fridge vegetable tray? Know that this form of conservation, in addition to being unnecessary, is harmful.

That's because, when stored in the fridge, potatoes lose flavor, color, texture and also a good part of the starch reserve, which comes from sugar.

So, when storing potatoes, opt for a paper bag that should be open in any airy place in the pantry.

  • Coffee

If you don't want to have a coffee with a weak flavor, it's better to keep it away from the fridge, as the essential thing is to keep it in closed containers, without air entering.

So, preferably, buy a specific pot to store the coffee. Any jar with a lid is valid. Leaving coffee in the open package is also not an option.

  • Garlic

Few people know, but garlic needs to be preserved in airy environments, so that it is ventilated.

That way, keeping it in the fridge can lead to loss of flavor, in addition to the possibility of generating mold, so leave it loose in a basket and it will last a long time!

  • Tomato

This food is also part of the little group that will end up in the fridge drawer, but it shouldn't. In the fridge, fruit loses flavor and rots easily.

Therefore, choose to leave it in a fruit bowl, an airy place where the fruit will last much longer.

  • Onion

By storing the onions in the fridge, you will also be helping them to spoil more easily, as they also need ventilation.

Also, the humidity in the fridge won't do the onions any good, so it's best to keep them in the pantry and away from the potatoes, so they don't rot quickly.

  • Bread

Finally, a food that makes no sense to keep in the fridge: bread. Refrigeration will do a lot of harm to the bread.

That's because, when in the fridge, breads will dry out and lose much of their texture and flavor.

The best option is to consume them quickly and leave them in the pantry, where they belong.

We're sure you'll never put these foods in the fridge again, so spread this precious information and send the article to friends who need to know about it!
