The refrigerator is a good partner in our lives. You always go to the supermarket to buy a large pile of spoils and just throw them all into the refrigerator. Pay attention! These foods are not suitable for the refrigerator.
1. Tropical fruits such as mangoes and bananas
Putting them in the refrigerator will actually accelerate their spoilage, such as the appearance of black spots. Generally, they can be stored at room temperature, but be sure to place them in a cool, ventilated place.
2. Honey
Putting honey in the refrigerator will cause it to crystallize and separate glucose. Although this does not affect the nutritional value of the honey nor mean it has spoiled, it will affect the uniformity of its texture.
3. Tea powder, milk powder, coffee
If these dry products are not sealed tightly when placed in the refrigerator, the moisture and other odors in the refrigerator can seep in. Not only will the taste deteriorate, but it is also prone to mold.
4. Chocolate
After putting chocolate in the refrigerator, you will find its surface covered with a white bloom. This is actually the crystallization of fat, and the texture of the chocolate will become coarse.
5. Cucumbers, green peppers
The optimal storage temperature for cucumbers is 10°C to 12°C. Putting them in the refrigerator will cause them to turn black and become soft.
6. Ham
It can be stored in a cool, ventilated place. Putting it in the refrigerator can easily cause it to become rancid.
Tips
Do not put milk powder in the refrigerator because it is very humid inside. After opening the can, milk powder is prone to absorbing moisture, which can cause it to clump and spoil. In addition, the refrigerator is not a sterile environment; it also contains many bacteria that can contaminate the milk powder through the gaps after the can is opened. Therefore, for regular storage of milk powder, a cool, ventilated place is sufficient.
