Foods That Should Never Touch Your Fridge (And Why)

Onions

Onions thrive in warmer climates and, even more importantly, need proper air circulation to stay fresh. Whether they’re chopped, fried, or whole, treating them with care is essential.

Interestingly, onions and potatoes don’t mix well—keeping them close together can speed up the onions’ aging process. To keep both fresh, store them in separate areas of your kitchen, and most importantly, keep them out of the fridge!
