Honey

Honey serves as a natural preservative and doesn't need refrigeration. Additionally, it solidifies and becomes challenging to spread when it's too cold.

Chocolate

Avoid refrigerating chocolate as it can take on surrounding food odors.

Peanut Butter

Refrigeration causes the spread to become hard and difficult to spread on toast directly from the jar.

Coffee

Avoid storing coffee, whether in bean or ground form, in the fridge as it can absorb odors from other foods.

Bread

Avoid refrigerating bread. Cold temperatures cause the starch molecules in bread to recrystallize rapidly, leading to quicker staling.

Hot Sauce

High vinegar content prevents bacterial growth. Chilli's heat intensifies at room temperature.

Dried Fruits

Avoid refrigerating dried fruit to prevent added moisture. Keep it in a dry, dark place in an airtight container.
