감자
냉장고처럼 차가운 곳에 감자를 보관하면 감자의 전분이 빠른 속도로 단맛으로 변한다. 감자는 종이봉투에 넣어 선선한 곳에 보관하면 된다.
바질
바질을 냉장고에 보관하면 더 빨리 시들 것이다. 냉장고의 각종 냄새도 흡수하기 때문에 밖에서 보관하는 것이 더 좋다. 꽃처럼 물에 담구거나 꽂아 보관해라.
토마토
토마토를 냉장고에 보관하면 토마토는 고유의 맛을 잃는다. 또한 냉장고에 보관하면 토마토는 익는걸 멈추는데 익는 것이 멈춘다는 것은 토마토의 고유 맛이 안 생긴다는 것이다. 실온에 보관하는 것이 좋다.
양파
양파를 냉장고에 보관하면 양파의 수분이 양파를 눅눅하게 만든다. 양파는 선선하고 건조한 곳에 보관하면 된다.
아보카도
아보카도가 익길 바란다면 냉장고에 절대 넣지마라. 익는걸 원치 않으면 냉장고에 넣어도 된다.
올리브유
올리브유를 냉장고에 보관하면 버터처럼 딱딱해질 수 있다. 어둡고 선선한 곳에 보관하면 된다.
빵
빵을 냉장고에 보관한다면 빠른 속도로 건조해질 것이다. 몇 일후에 먹을 것이라면 냉장고에 보관한 후 토스트해서 먹어도 되지만 당장 먹을 것이라면 절대 냉장고에 넣지 말아야한다.
마늘
마늘을 냉장고에 보관하면 싹이 날 것며 곰팡이가 생길 수 도 있으니 선선하고 건조한 곳에 보관하라.
커피(콩,가루)
커피를 냉장고에 보관하면 맛을 잃으며 냉장고의 잡내도 다 흡수하니 냉장고에 보관하지 말 것. 커피는 선선하고 어두운 곳에 보관하는 것이 좋다.
꿀
꿀은 냉장고에 보관할 필요가 없다. 냉장고에 보관하면 오히려 결정체를 이룬다. 밀폐만 잘해서 보관하면 영원히 썩지 않을 것이다.

Food that should be kept out of refrigerator
People sometimes wonder what they should keep in the fridge and what they should not. Huffington Post revealed 10 foods that don’t belong in the fridge.
Potatoes
If kept refrigerated, the starch in potatoes turns sweet and gritty. Potatoes should be kept in a paper bag and stored somewhere cool.
Basil
Basil is going to wilt faster if kept in the refrigerator and will also absorb all kinds of smells in the fridge. Basil should be kept in water, just like flowers.
Tomatoes
If tomatoes are kept in the fridge, they will lose their flavor. They also stop ripening in the fridge, which means they might not taste like tomatoes at all. It is best to keep them “in a bowl or basket on the counter.”
Onions
If kept in the fridge, the moisture will turn onions soft. Onions should be kept in a cool, dry place.
Avocados
If you don’t want your avocados to ripen, put them in the fridge. But if they aren’t ripe yet, don’t put them in the refrigerator.
Olive oil
If you keep olive oil in the fridge it can develop a “hard, almost butter-like consistency.” Better keep it in a cool, dark place.
Bread
The refrigerator can dry out bread really quickly. If you plan to toast your bread after a few days, it’s fine to put it in the fridge. But if you want to eat it fresh, just put it on the counter.
Garlic
Garlic is going to sprout and get moldy if it is kept refrigerated. Just keep it in a cool, dry place.
Coffee
Coffee loses its flavor in the fridge. It also absorbs other odors in the refrigerator. It should be kept in a cool and dark place.
Honey
Honey does not spoil. If kept tightly sealed it lasts forever. If kept in the fridge, it will crystalize.
