Foods That Should Never Touch Your Fridge (And Why)

Jerky/Biltong

It makes perfect sense—jerky is simply dried meat, so why store it in a place with moisture?

The best jerky stays dry for extended periods, and your kitchen cupboard or counter is the ideal spot. Keep it at room temperature in a dry, airtight container, and you’ll be able to enjoy it over time without worrying about it going bad.
