8 Fruits One Should Not Refrigerate And Why

Bananas

Refrigerating bananas can cause the peel to turn black and also slows down the ripening. Bananas are best stored at room temperature.

Avocados

If avocados are unripe, it's best to keep them at room temperature to allow them to ripen properly.

Melons

Storing them at room temperature helps preserve antioxidants, while refrigeration can help reduce their nutritional value.

​Peaches​

Refrigeration can cause peaches to become mealy and lose their flavor. Once ripe, peaches can be refrigerated to extend their shelf life for a few days.

Mangoes

Also, refrigeration leads to blackening of skin due to sensitivity to Ethylene oxide gas, which accelerates ripening.

Winter Squash

Squash like butternuts are best served at room temperature. Storing them in the fridge reduces the nutritional value and taste.

Pineapples

Refrigeration can cause the fruit to become mushy and lose its flavor. Once ripe, pineapples can be refrigerated for a few days to slow down the ripening process and extend their shelf life.

Papayas

Papayas should be stored at room temperature until ripe, as refrigeration can slow down the ripening process and affect their flavor and texture.
