Foods That Should Never Touch Your Fridge (And Why)
Garlic
If you’re aiming for your garlic to sprout early, the fridge is your go-to—though not for the right reasons! The cold can lead to mold forming on both the skin and inside the bulb, which is far from ideal.
To keep your garlic fresh, store it somewhere dry and warm instead. While the fridge may hide the rotting process (since it happens inside the cloves), it’s not the best choice for long-term storage. Unless you’re trying to protect a vampire friend, it’s best to skip the fridge for garlic!
