Foods That Should Never Be Refrigerated & Why

Tomatoes

Refrigeration can cause a loss of flavor and texture in tomatoes. It's best to store them at room temperature.

Potatoes

 Cold temperatures can convert the starch in potatoes into sugar more quickly, resulting in a sweeter taste and gritty texture. 

Onions

Refrigeration can make onions soft and moldy. Keep them in a cool, dry area with good ventilation.

Garlic

Cold temperatures can cause garlic to sprout and become rubbery. Store it in a cool, dry place with good air circulation.

Bread

 Refrigeration can dry out bread and make it stale faster. Keep it at room temperature in a bread box or a paper bag.

Honey

Honey has natural preservatives and a low moisture content, so refrigeration is unnecessary and can cause it to crystallize.

Avocados

 Avocados need to ripen at room temperature. Once they're ripe, you can refrigerate them to slow down the ripening process.
