5 foods should not be stored in the refrigerator

Professor Gamero said that these foods in the refrigerator can change the flavor and texture - or even make the food broken faster.

Garlic is becoming more and more popular due to its good health - and this is a major ingredient in the Mediterranean diet (one of the best diets for longevity).Research shows that garlic may have some real health benefits, such as protecting against common colds, helping lower blood pressure and cholesterol.

Garlic is also known for its antibacterial and anti -inflammatory properties.Professor Gamero said the best place to preserve garlic is the cabinets and kitchen shelves dry.

The professor explained: "Cabinets and kitchen shelves are often a good place to preserve garlic, at a temperature of about 15 degrees Celsius, as long as they are far away from potatoes because garlic releases gas to speed up the germination process ofpotato".

To preserve garlic longer, you can also preserve garlic in the oil by putting peeled garlic cloves into closed glass containing olive oil.You can also frozen the whole garlic or finely chopped.

Professor Gamero also warned that the storage of bread in the refrigerator will "reduce the quality of the structure and flavor".He said the best way to store bread is at room temperature, inside the paper bag is wrapped in a clean towel.You can also freeze bread to keep this food fresh longer.

Surprisingly, chocolate is also not recommended in the refrigerator because the cold temperature will affect the smoothness and taste of chocolate.Professor Gamero added that the sudden change of temperature will change the texture of chocolate.He said it is best to preserve chocolate in a cool place, avoid direct light and store in original packaging or closed boxes.

Bananas should not be stored in the refrigerator.Puting green bananas in the refrigerator can make bananas hard and taste.

Finally, coffee should not be stored in the refrigerator because both whole coffee and ground coffee absorb moisture.If stored in the refrigerator, coffee will lose the taste and aroma.The best place to preserve coffee is a closed box in a cool, dry place.
