By Jasmin November 14, 2019

Do you store these foods in the fridge?

Ever wonder if you should be keeping that condiment or vegetable in the fridge? Where does chocolate go? Cold storage or a fridge may seam like the perfect place to store food but can cause some food to go stale or loose it freshness. We reveal some of the most common food items that you’re most likely storing incorrectly. After reading this, we are sure many of us will think twice about where certain foods should be kept.

Avocados in the fridge — If you want your avocados to ripen faster, then avoid putting them in the fridge.

Storing Capsicum — The skin on capsicums will lose its crunch if stored in the fridge.

Cucumbers in the fridge — Cucumbers will become watery if stored in the fridge. If you must refrigerate them, it is best to wrap them up in plastic.

Onions in the fridge — The moisture in the fridge will cause onion to become soft and mouldy, so they are best sorted in a cool, dry place.

How to store garlic — Like onions, garlic becomes quite rubbery if kept in the fridge. Again, it is best kept in a cool, dry place.

How to store bananas — Bananas need warmer temperatures to ripen, which means the fridge is definitely not the right place for them.

Citrus Fruits — Any citrus fruit keeps better on the counter or in your fruit bowl.

Olive oil in the fridge — Olive oil will harden if left in a refrigerator. Keep in a cool, dry place so that it’s always ready for you to use.

Hot sauce in the fridge — As most hot sauces contain vinegar, it can be kept in the pantry, which keeps it preserved.

How to store Soy Sauce — Soy sauce is fermented, so it can also be kept in the pantry.

Does honey go in the fridge — Honey can go a little hard in the fridge. It keeps well in a cool, dry place in your kitchen.

Where to store bread — Refrigerating your bread will make it go stale.

Does chocolate go in the fridge — Chocolate will lose some of its flavour when kept in the fridge. Try to find a cool place in your kitchen to store and make sure it’s away from sunlight.

Coffee beans — Coffee beans can also lose if kept in the fridge.

Nuts in the fridge — Store nuts in an air-tight container, in a place that isn’t too warm or cold. Being stored in a fridge will affect its flavour.
