These foods to never put in the fridge

By reflex, habit, or the desire to extend their lifespan, we often refrigerate many ingredients when this is not necessary.

Result: we can waste energy unnecessarily. Indeed, a fridge filled to the limit or empty tends to overconsume, it is better to focus on filling it correctly. A waste that is not necessarily felt on a daily basis, but which is nevertheless easy to avoid by adopting the right reflexes, starting by no longer putting the following 10 foods in the fridge.

Eggs

Obviously, the fridge is sold with an egg receptacle, so this is naturally misleading. However, eggs keep perfectly well at room temperature in their original container. Plus, refrigerated eggs absorb odors from the fridge, which is never, ever a good idea.

Garlic and onion

There is no need to keep the garlic and onion refrigerated. Dry and in a dark place, this is the ideal storage for these herbs.

The tomato

Yes, tomatoes cannot be stored in the refrigerator because they lose their fragrance and flavor. At room temperature, however, everything is fine.

Honey

There is no reason to keep honey cool, it is a non-perishable food that does not like to be stored below 9°C. In a cupboard, away from light and dry, that's all he needs.

The banana

Like the avocado, the banana is a climacteric fruit which continues to ripen after picking. In addition, bananas do not like being below 12°C, otherwise the fruit can darken and lose flavor. In a fruit basket, this is its best place!

Sweet potato

At room temperature, cool and dry, the sweet potato will wait quietly to be cooked, without ever failing. To keep in mind for our next sweet potato toast.

Pickles

On supermarket shelves, are pickles kept cool? No, so there's no reason to refrigerate them once you get home.

The dried fruit

Dried fruits such as grapes, apricots, or dates, and nuts such as walnuts, hazelnuts or almonds, should be stored at room temperature, dry and protected from light. And that's all !

Peaches and nectarines

In the summer, we avoid placing peaches and nectarines in the refrigerator because this causes them to lose their flavor. We therefore reserve them at room temperature, and rather flat, since they are delicate fruits.

The lawyer

Avocado prefers to be at room temperature than cool. You should also know that this fruit is climacteric, which means that it continues to ripen after picking, and the cold slows down this ripening. So if we have an avocado that is too firm, we leave it at room temperature, and on the contrary, if the avocado is too ripe, we can place it in a cool place to keep it a little longer. Once opened, on the other hand, lemon juice and refrigeration are required, to avoid oxidation!
