Most of us keep fresh fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator to make them last a little longer...But refrigerating certain produce will ruin it. Here’s the list:• Tomatoes: They hate the cold. Storing them in the fridge makes them mealy and tasteless. They’re happiest on the counter, out of direct sunlight.• Basil: It wilts and shrivels in the fridge. Store basil like you would fresh flowers – in a vase or jar filled with water. Change the water every day or two and cover loosely with a plastic bag to keep it moist.• Potatoes and onions prefer the pantry to the fridge. Just don’t put them next to each other. Potatoes emit a gas that spoils onions.• Avocados: Hard avocados need to ripen OUT of the fridge. If it’s already ripe – and you’re not ready to eat it, you’ll need to refrigerate it to prevent over-ripening.
