Tomatoes in the fridge? β
Garlic in the fridge? β
Onions in the fridge? β
Many people focus on what they eat—but forget that how food is stored can dramatically affect taste, texture, and even nutrient quality. Improper storage doesn’t just dull flavor; it can speed up spoilage, reduce nutritional value, and quietly increase food waste (and grocery bills).
Here’s a simple breakdown to keep your food fresher for longer:
β Store INSIDE the fridge:
-
Lettuce
-
Carrots
-
Beets
-
Bell peppers
-
Eggs
These foods benefit from cooler temperatures, which slow down nutrient loss and preserve crispness.
β Store OUTSIDE the fridge:
-
Bananas
-
Garlic
-
Onions
-
Tomatoes
-
Apples
Cold temperatures can damage their texture, mute flavor, and in some cases alter their natural compounds.
β¨ Why this really matters:
Proper storage helps:
-
Preserve nutrients
-
Maintain flavor and texture
-
Reduce food waste
-
Save money over time
-
Support better long-term health
The way you store your food is just as important as what you eat.
