An Indian nutritionist has revealed three common food items that should never be kept in the refrigerator. Influencer Jhanvi Singhvi shared a video on Instagram outlining these foods and the reasons why refrigeration can make them harmful.
Here’s the list:
- Onions:
Storing onions in the fridge increases moisture, which can lead to mold growth. Mold produces mycotoxins that can cause nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea when consumed. - Garlic:
Garlic faces similar risks as onions when refrigerated, potentially leading to health hazards. - Potatoes:
Refrigerating potatoes converts their starch into sugar, making them unnaturally sweet and altering their taste.
To ensure the freshness and safety of these foods, it’s best to store them in a cool, dry place outside the refrigerator.
