10 foods not to (especially) put in the fridge

The lawyer

This pretty green fruit must be kept at room temperature to take full advantage of its flavor, otherwise it will turn black! It can be put in the fridge if it is already cut, provided you add a squeeze of lemon juice.

Eggs

In the refrigerator, egg shells absorb odors from other products. And then, in the supermarket, they are not placed in the fresh section, so why do it at home?

Chocolate

In contact with the cold, the surface of the chocolate will create a thin white layer of fat. No, that doesn't make it inedible, but it makes you want less, and then, iced chocolate, it's not necessarily terrible...

Honey

A jar of honey in a fridge takes up space and above all, it is useless! The amount of natural sugar is so high that it naturally preserves the honey for a very long time.

Tomatoes

In the fridge, tomatoes tend to soften and become bland and floury. So, of course, they keep their plump appearance longer, but if it's to make them less good...

Potatoes and sweet potatoes

The cold transforms their starches into sugar and will have an impact on their taste, which will become much less appetizing and sweeter.

Herbs

We prefer the open air for basil, parsley, coriander or even mint, because the fridge dries them out. The best ? Put your herbs in a glass of water to keep them like flowers! Anti-dryness guaranteed!

Garlic

Garlic should be banned from the refrigerator:the cold causes germs to grow and softens the cloves. Instead, place it in a dry place away from light.

The melon

We agree, melon is much better fresh. And yet, kept cold, this favorite summer fruit of the French loses its antioxidant and especially its taste!

Cucumber

This very water-laden vegetable tends to wilt if kept in the fridge, unless it has already been started. In this case, wrap it in cling film and consume it quickly!

There you go, no more possible mistakes!
