45views

If these foods are refrigerated, you should take them out.

Many of us throw several items in the fridge without knowing if they should be refrigerated or not.

It’s true that refrigerating things like meat, fish, and dairy products is a great way to keep them fresh. But there are other foods that are just as delicious and nutritious when stored at room temperature.

In this article, you’ll be introduced to three items that the media says should NOT be refrigerated; and there are certainly more guilty of doing so.

Ginger

Ginger is known for its many benefits, including relief from flu symptoms, coughs, dizziness and nausea.

In addition, ginger promotes good blood circulation and relieves muscle pain. However, the humidity of the fridge can damage the ginger, which according to the media can lead to mold

Onions

Onions are a popular ingredient in many dishes and many of us use them for dinner every day.

However, when stored in the fridge they can start to sprout and the cold air can make them soft, which is not exactly preferable.

This information may come as news to you, and it’s no secret that many Danes store onions in the fridge – but that’s not how it should be.

Sauces

Many people leave sauces in the fridge door, but this can actually lead to oxidation and change the flavor, which also means that sauces go bad quickly.

The bottom line is that while some foods are better off in the fridge, there are many things that are actually better stored at room temperature.
