Foods That Should Never Touch Your Fridge (And Why)
Basil
Basil is a must-have herb for any kitchen, adding a unique flavor to elevate your dishes. To keep your basil fresh, store it in a bit of water and keep it in the shade, rather than in the fridge.
However, it’s important to keep it at a temperature of at least 40°F (4°C)—anything colder can cause black spots to appear and ruin its taste. This way, it’ll last much longer and continue to bring fresh flavor to your meals.
