A KISSAN HAAT

We all know there are some foods that don’t need to be refrigerated. However, with other foods, it can be harder to decide. Take TOMATOES, foe example. Many people aren’t sure if refrigerating them will prolong their life.

Then there are some foods that people regularly refrigerate, but they shouldn’t. These include, citrus fruits and peppers.

So, let’s have a look about those who don’t need to be refrigerated (and some that do, but only under certain circumstances.)

If you put tomatoes in refrigerator doing so will dry it out and wreak havoc on the flavor compounds. Instead, turn them upside down and place them somewhere dark on paper. That’ll ensure they stay fresh as long as possible.

Potatoes don’t belong in the fridge. Their starches will start to break down, making them sweet and unpalatable. Instead, put them somewhere cool and dark. You should be able to keep

The category of citrus fruits contains many different things, including: Oranges
Lemons

All of these can last for weeks in a cool, dark cupboard. Just be sure it has some ventilation, otherwise, they might go bad more quickly. 

Bananas are another food that never needs refrigeration. Instead, leave them at room temperature in a cool, shady spot. 
Also, though it sounds weird, add some plastic wrap to their stems. Doing so will help keep them from ripening so quickly. 

Tropical fruits include pineapples, mangoes, kiwi, and other similar fruits. Like citrus fruits, they don’t require refrigeration. 

It’s important to remember the climate in which these fruits grow. It’s tropical, so it’s hot and sunny. Therefore, the fruits don’t do so well in the cold. 
Leave them on the counter. They should last for several days as long as they weren’t overripe when you bought them.

After they’re cut, melons do belong in the fridge.
However, don’t put them there while they’re still whole. If you do, they’ll lose many of their healthy antioxidants. 
Leave them whole on the counter, out of direct sunlight, instead. 

Unshelled nuts can last for months (up to 9) at room temperature. 
Even shelled nuts will last for quite some time, about 6 months. 
There’s nothing particularly wrong with refrigerating your nuts. However, they tend to lose a bit of their texture and crunchiness. They’ll keep longer, and the texture doesn’t take such a brutal hit.
