Foods That Should Never Touch Your Fridge (And Why)

Pears

There are few things as refreshing as a nice cold fruit on a summer’s day. Sadly, if you want your fruit chilled, this is a pleasure you’ll have to reserve for other fruits.

Pears don’t benefit from fridge treatment and should instead be kept on the kitchen counter or in a cupboard. The skin of pears is particularly delicate, and cold air can ruin their juicy and delicious crispiness. So, next time you stock up on this underrated fruit, keep them in your fruit bowl and enjoy their freshness for days after purchase.
