Onions can become soft and moldy in the humid environment of a refrigerator, causing them to spoil faster. They need to “breathe,” so it’s best to store them in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from potatoes to prevent quicker spoilage.
Ingredient No. 4: Garlic
Refrigeration can cause garlic to sprout, making it rubbery and diminishing its flavor. Store it in a cool, dry, and dark place with good ventilation to keep it fresh and retain its robust taste.
Ingredient No. 5: Bread
The refrigerator can make bread stale faster due to the recrystallization of starch molecules. To keep bread fresh, store it in a breadbox or a paper bag at room temperature. For longer storage, freeze bread and thaw slices as needed.
Ingredient No. 6: Honey
Honey crystallizes and becomes grainy when refrigerated. It contains natural preservatives and doesn’t spoil easily, making room temperature the ideal storage condition for maintaining its smooth texture.
Ingredient No. 7: Coffee
Coffee beans and grounds absorb moisture and odors from the refrigerator, compromising their flavor. Store coffee in an airtight container in a cool, dark cupboard to preserve its aroma and taste.
Ingredient No. 8: Avocados
