Bananas: Refrigeration chills bananas and dulls their flavor.

Citrus fruits: Oranges, grapefruits, limes, and lemons can dry out or lose flavor in the cold.

Stone fruits: Peaches, nectarines, plums, and apricots ripen best at room temperature.

Avocados: Cold temperatures slow down avocado ripening.
