Foods You Should Never Store In The Fridge

Pickles

There is an ongoing debate about whether pickles should be kept in the fridge or not. While it may seem logical to keep them chilled for freshness, some argue that refrigeration actually affects their flavor and texture.

Pickles are a result of the fermentation process, where cucumbers are soaked in a brine solution containing salt, vinegar, and various spices. This process creates a tangy and crisp pickle that is bursting with flavor. However, when pickles are refrigerated, the cold temperature slows down the fermentation process and alters their taste.
