Foods That Should Never Touch Your Fridge (And Why)
Spices
Who doesn’t love a fancy spice rack on display? Whether you keep your spices out for everyone to see or hidden in a cupboard, just make sure you don’t store them in the fridge! After only a few days in the fridge, the vibrant smells will fade.
Most ground spices can last for years when kept at room temperature (we all have that cinnamon from 2009). However, when stored in cold and damp environments, their flavor decreases, and they quickly lose their edge. Keep your spices in a dry, cool place to preserve their potency!
