The best way to make a dish of vegetables is to cook it while fresh. Thus, we were accustomed to insert all kinds of vegetables into the refrigerator immediately After buying it. However, not all vegetables can remain fresh while stored in the refrigerator. What food are they?
a. Tomatoes
Tomatoes are not the fruit, but vegetables that are actually considered better in hot than cold temperatures. It can you know when you grow your own tomatoes. Fridge is not the ideal place to store tomatoes. Could even make it mealy and not be eaten raw. Keep on the table that are not exposed to direct sunlight.
b. Basil
Just like tomatoes, basil is also not good when stored in cold temperatures. Store it in the refrigerator too long will cause wilt prematurely. Basil will stay fresh when stored in a table with room temperature.
c. Potato
Potatoes prefer cool temperatures, but not cold. These vegetables will be fresh when stored at temperatures of about 10 degrees warmer than the average temperature of the refrigerator. Store in a paper bag and put it in a cool place. Why paper? This will make the potatoes to breathe, while plastic to make potatoes rot more easily. Storing potatoes in cold temperatures will convert the starch to sugar more quickly, which can affect the taste and texture.
d. Onion
To keep the onion skin is dry, store in a dry room like a kitchen that is not damp like a refrigerator. Lack of air circulation in the refrigerator will also lead to damaged onions.
e. Avocado
Avocados will not mature until after they are picked from the tree. If you buy avocados, do not store it in the refrigerator because it slows the ripening process. On the other hand, when perfectly ripe avocado and you are not ready to use, store it in the refrigerator can delay it to rot.
