Store in a bread box or loosely wrapped in a cloth or paper bag at room temperature.
Refrigeration dries bread quickly and makes it stale. Use within 2–3 days or freeze for longer storage.
2. Avocados
Keep unripe avocados on the counter to ripen naturally.
Once ripe, you can refrigerate to slow further ripening for a couple of days.
3. Tomatoes
Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
Refrigeration dulls their flavor and alters texture. Use within a few days for best taste.
4. Onions
Keep in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place in a mesh bag or basket.
Avoid storing near potatoes, as they release moisture and gases that can spoil onions.
5. Potatoes
Store in a dark, cool, dry place like a pantry or cellar.
Refrigeration converts starch into sugar, affecting flavor and texture.
6. Garlic
Store whole bulbs in a cool, dry place with good air circulation.
Avoid refrigeration which can cause sprouting and mold.
7. Honey
Keep sealed at room temperature in a dry place.
Refrigeration causes honey to crystallize and harden.
