We keep a lot of food and liquids in the refrigerator for a longer shelf life. Contrary to common misconception, some of these products are not meant to be refrigerated. In the case of such products, they lose their nutrients, taste, texture and beneficial properties. Below we will review a list of these products. Storing vegetable oils in the refrigerator makes them thicker. This is especially true of olive and coconut oils, which tend to become viscous at low temperatures and take a long time to return to their original state. Cold temperatures are highly undesirable for tomatoes, as their texture suffers and they become friable. If stored for a long time in the refrigerator, the onion becomes soft in texture. If the onion is cut open, the layers begin to dry out, even if the onion is well wrapped. The ripening process of bananas in the refrigerator slows down. Thus, by placing a green fruit in the refrigerator, we slow down its ripening period. Storing this vegetable in the refrigerator is fraught with mold and rubber-like structure. However, this will not be apparent until you have peeled the garlic. If the watermelon or melon has not yet been cut, it is recommended not to store it in the refrigerator. At room temperature, these fruits retain their antioxidant levels.
