7 fruits you should never store in fridge

Pavan Naidu

There are certain fruits that should never be stored in the fridge due to their sensitivity to cold temperatures. 

Here are fruits that should never be stored in the fridge.

Bananas: Bananas should be kept at room temperature as they are sensitive to cold temperatures. Storing them in the fridge can affect the taste and texture of the fruit.

Tomatoes: Tomatoes lose their flavor and texture when refrigerated. It is recommended to store them outside to allow them to ripen fully and develop their natural taste.

Avocados: Avocados should be stored at room temperature. Placing them in the fridge can slow down the ripening process and affect their taste and quality.

Citrus Fruits: Citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, and limes should not be refrigerated. The cold temperature can alter their taste and texture. It's best to store them outside.

Pineapple: Pineapples should be stored at room temperature to maintain their sweetness and juiciness. Keeping the fruit in refrigerator can cause the fruit to become mushy and lose its flavor.

Melons: Melons, such as watermelon and cantaloupe, should be kept at room temperature until they are cut. Once cut, they can be refrigerated for a few days but should be covered.

Peaches: Stone fruits like peaches, plums, and cherries should be stored at room temperature until they are ripe. Refrigerating them before they are fully ripe can affect their flavor and texture.
