Most of us have the habit of stuffing our refrigerator with half the things we purchase from the grocery stores. This must be avoided because there are few foods that must be kept in the fridge while others must be kept in the kitchen only. Point is though cold storage of foods is a necessity for many foods chilly air of the fridge could have negative impact on some health favorites. . It is important to mention that putting all the food items in the fridge even when it isn’t needed would remove all the natural flavors of the food.
These below mentioned foods must not be kept in a refrigerator.
