However, did you know there are certain types of foods you are not supposed to store in the fridge? Here they are:

1. Watermelon

Watermelons are better off stored in the kitchen counter to avoid them losing their antioxidants benefits. Make sure to wrap them up before storing them in the fridge so that they don't absorb the tastes of other foods.

2. Honey

The cold in the refrigerator will lead to the crystallizing of honey and later becomes hard as a rock. If you want your honey syrup smooth and slick,  avoid the fridge.

3. Pumpkin

Pumpkins, when stored in the fridge, usually gather moisture which causes them to rot. It is better to store them in a dry place.

4. Onions

For those who prefer to keep onions in the fridge, they tend to gain humidity which will speed up their ageing process. Onions should be kept out in the warmth of the room before cutting them. If they are cut then, they need to be in the fridge or they will dry out.

5.Tomatoes

Everybody stores tomatoes in the fridge there is no denying that. Unfortunately, you are killing them. The humidity will kill the flavour and also break down the molecules and leave it grainy.
