The fridge: enemy or friend of food?

Friend : butter, dairy products, condiments, raw and cooked meats and fish, as well as drinks you want to eat fresh and ready-made products. More generally, all foods that must be kept in the fridge are marked on their packaging. If there are none, they can stay outside. And sometimes they have to stay outside.

Enemy : the stay in the refrigerator does not necessarily succeed to all foods. For example, fruits and vegetables. It is often believed that keeping them cool can help keep them fresh. It's wrong ! Most of the time, cold stops the ripening process and prevents fruits and vegetables from maturing. A good option if you want to keep a little longer plants already ripe. On the other hand, we forget if it is only a question of storing them. Also know that kept too long in the fridge, some foods may lose taste. Other foods not to place in the fridge: the aromatics. Garlic, onion but also basil, coriander, mint, parsley, chives, oregano etc. We keep them outside the fridge. Why ? Because onion and garlic soften when they go to the fridge, and because the aromatic herbs , once cut, fade. And here, the fridge can not do anything for them! Promised, we give you the trick to keep fresh herbs longer in our slideshow!
