Tomatoes Refrigeration alters their texture and dulls their flavor, making them mealy instead of juicy and sweet.
Potatoes Cold temperatures convert starches into sugar too quickly, affecting texture and flavor; store them in a cool, dark place instead.
Onions Refrigeration causes onions to become mushy and promotes mold growth; they last longer in a dry, well-ventilated area.
Garlic Cold temperatures can make garlic sprout faster and turn rubbery; store bulbs in a dry, cool spot.
Honey Refrigerating honey causes it to crystallize and thicken; it’s best kept at room temperature in a sealed container.
Bread Cold storage dries out bread faster and makes it stale; keep it in a bread box or at room temperature for freshness.
Coffee Beans Refrigeration introduces moisture, which affects flavor and aroma; store coffee in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
