Foods That Should Never Touch Your Fridge (And Why)
Tropical Fruits
Tropical fruits like mangoes, passion fruits, coconuts, and pineapples all thrive in hot climates, which is why they are designed to retain their texture and moisture in warm temperatures.
Storing them in the fridge isn’t ideal because they’re not accustomed to the cold. Instead, keep them on your kitchen counter at room temperature. To prevent pests, wrap them in protective materials, such as mesh or paper, to keep flies away while still allowing them to ripen naturally.
