Is your refrigerator overflowing with foods that don’t belong there? Maybe you heard that it keeps them fresh, or your parents always put that item in there. There are many reasons we store food in the refrigerator, but now it is time to clear it out. Here are five foods that you should not put in your refrigerator.

Onions

Onions will go bad quicker in the refrigerator because of the moisture. Instead, keep them in a well-ventilated area to stay crunchy.

Coffee

Storing coffee in the fridge will not let the natural oil flavor your cuppa joe, so keep the jar in a cupboard instead.

Garlic

Garlic can actually become moldy and change texture when stored in the refrigerator, so it is best to keep it in a well-ventilated area free from moisture.

Olive Oil

Olive oil will solidify if refrigerated, so keep it in the pantry for easy access and to keep it at optimal texture and temperature.

Bananas

Keep your bananas out of the refrigerator if you want them to ripen quicker, and the skin will stay yellow.
