Foods you should never keep in the fridge as they spoil faster

dailyrecord.co.uk:

There's nothing more disheartening than peering into your fridge at the end of the week only to find that half of your groceries have spoiled before you've had a chance to enjoy them.

However, it seems many of us are storing the wrong items in our fridges, causing our food to spoil quickly. Bathroom and kitchen specialist store, Plumbworld, has put together a list of five foods that should never be kept in the fridge if you want them to stay fresh and tasty.

The first item on the list that should avoid the chill of the fridge is tomatoes.Cold temperatures halt the ripening process, meaning that tomatoes won't reach their full freshness and sweetness.

Additionally, the cold can break down the cell membranes in tomatoes, making them mealy.Instead, tomatoes should be stored at room temperature and out of direct sunlight.Potatoes also shouldn't be stored in the fridge as the cold accelerates the conversion of their starches into sugars, resulting in an overly sweet and gritty spud.
