Everybody has the habit of placing stuff in the refrigerator to keep it fresh, yet some items are better off without it. Indeed, it's possible that you're chilling items that shouldn't be chilly. Let's examine the things you've been keeping in the refrigerator but, in reality, would rather be kept in a warmer area of your kitchen.
 
Health expert Cory Rodriguez, who goes by the handle health WithCory on social media, has identified six typical foods that are frequently improperly kept and how to preserve their greatest quality. Cory pointed out in a widely shared TikTok video that a lot of people make the error of putting some foods in the refrigerator, which can affect their flavor and quality.
 
Items To Be Kept Away From The Fridge
For example, honey can crystallize and seize at freezing temperatures, thus it should never be kept in the refrigerator. For best consistency, keep it at room temperature instead. In a similar vein, tomatoes are best kept on the counter even though they are frequently kept in the refrigerator. Their flavor and texture may be affected by the cold, which can leave them bland and mealy.
 
Additionally, Cory noted that coffee shouldn't be kept in the refrigerator. By doing this, its flavor may be compromised as it absorbs moisture and undesirable odors. Rather, it should be stored away from any moisture in a cold, dry location.

He also disclosed that a lot of us keep spicy sauce in the refrigerator, which is another improper storage practice. He clarified in his widely shared TikTok video that spicy sauce doesn't require refrigeration since the vinegar in it is sufficient to stop bacteria from growing. Additionally, keeping it at room temperature helps maintain the peppers' potency, making the flavor stronger.
 
Additionally, he says that potatoes shouldn't be refrigerated since the lower temperatures might cause the starches to break down and change their flavor. Cory advises keeping them somewhere cool and dark, but not too chilly. Additionally, he noted that onions and garlic should never be kept in the refrigerator. In order to preserve their highest quality, he reminded viewers that they were purchased outside of the refrigerator for a purpose.
