Some foods may seem like they belong in the fridge \u2014 but chilling them actually ruins their flavor, texture, or shelf life. Here are 10 everyday items that should stay out of the cold<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Tomatoes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cold air dulls their flavor and makes them mealy. Keep them at room temperature for juicier, tastier results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2. Bread<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The fridge dries bread out quickly and makes it go stale faster. Freeze it if you need to store it long-term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

3. Potatoes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Refrigeration turns potato starch into sugar, which affects flavor and can even create harmful compounds when cooked. Store them in a cool, dark pantry instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

4. Onions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The fridge makes onions soft and moldy. Keep them in a dry, ventilated place away from potatoes (they make each other spoil faster).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

5. Garlic<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Chilled garlic loses flavor and sprouts faster. Leave it in a bowl or mesh bag in a dark cupboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

6. Coffee<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Moisture in the fridge can cause your coffee to lose its aroma and absorb odors. Store beans or grounds in an airtight container in a dark place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

7. Honey<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Honey crystallizes and thickens in the fridge \u2014 but it naturally preserves itself at room temp. Keep it in the pantry, tightly sealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

8. Bananas<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The cold halts ripening and turns the peel brown. Keep bananas on the counter and separate from other fruits if you want them to ripen more slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

9. Avocados (when unripe)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Putting unripe avocados in the fridge slows the ripening process. Let them soften on the counter before chilling (if needed).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

10. Olive Oil<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It solidifies and becomes cloudy in cold temperatures. Store it in a dark cabinet away from the stove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
