8 taboo foods placed in the refrigerator lest unpredictable harm, many people still do wrong

Bean

Beans do not need to be stored in the refrigerator. In fact, moisture in the refrigerator can cause beans to sprout.

Honey

Honey is the only food that doesn't spoil and doesn't need to be refrigerated.

Onion

Like tomatoes, onions tend to soften or mold if left in the fridge for too long. In particular, if the onions have been chopped, they will dry out even when tightly wrapped.

In addition, onions have a very pungent odor, can spread in an enclosed environment like refrigerators, making all other food contaminated with the smell. The onion itself will lose its own taste.

Tomato

Research shows that the low temperature in a refrigerator can destroy tomato cell membranes, leaving tomatoes more susceptible to drying and spoiling.

Moreover, tomatoes stored in the refrigerator will be more difficult to cook, each piece of tomatoes may remain in the mouth when eating. So you can store tomatoes at room temperature, in a dry place and avoid direct sunlight.

Potato

Many people fear the potatoes will sprout and put them in the fridge. But in cold environments, potatoes will convert starch into sugar, when processed will have a strange sweetness and easily burn when cooking. Potatoes should be stored in a cool, dry place. If you are afraid of potatoes sprouting, a trick for you is to place a ripe apple in a potato storage place.

Banana

Cold temperatures will slow down the ripening process. However, if the temperature is too cold, it can cause bananas to soften and taste slightly spicy when ripe. Therefore, green bananas should be kept at room temperature. If bananas are cooked and you don't eat them, you can store them in the freezer. The banana skin will then continue to turn brown, but the fruit is still perfect.

Bread and baked goods

Although refrigerator temperatures can keep bread or food from being cooked longer, the refrigerator has the disadvantage of making these foods quickly dry and hard. This is because the fridge temperatures are too low, and the starch structure in these foods changes at low temperatures and loses its softness.

Onions

Leaving onions in the refrigerator is highly likely to be damaged and will expose the surrounding foods to the pungent odor of onions. So we should only store onions in a dry environment.

However, if the onions are badly cut, you can wrap them up and place them in the fridge to keep them fresh without spreading the smell to other foods.
