15 Foods That Should Never Be Kept in The Refrigerator

1. Potatoes

Cool, dark environments are best for storing potatoes, but refrigerators are too cold. Potatoes become gritty when they are chilled, as the chill breaks down the starch in them. In the fridge, starch is also converted to sugar, which further diminishes its flavor.

2. Onions

Keeping onions in the refrigerator will prevent them from spoiling as quickly as keeping them on the counter. Before you know it, they'll be moldy and mushy. When storing onions, keep them at room temperature and away from direct sunlight. Once the onion has been peeled and cut, it should be refrigerated. Store it in the vegetable drawer in a sealable bag.
