15 Foods That Should Never Be Kept in The Refrigerator

3. Garlic

When stored in the fridge, garlic tends to lose its flavor. Maintain its pungent flavor by storing it in a cool, dry place with some ventilation. An excellent example is a paper bag. Once the head has been broken open, garlic still begins to degrade. Use those cloves within 10 days.

4. Melon

It is best to store whole melons at room temperature, such as cantaloupe, watermelon, and honeydew. According to some research, refrigerating melon degrades its antioxidant content faster, so eating it at room temperature makes it healthier, too. Melon can be stored in the refrigerator for approximately three to four days after cutting.
