Foods You Should Never Store In The Fridge

Maple Syrup

Contrary to popular belief, keeping maple syrup in the fridge might not be the best idea. While refrigeration helps prevent bacterial growth, it also causes maple syrup to solidify and become harder to pour. Instead of reaching for a chilled bottle every time you want to add a touch of sweetness to your pancakes, consider keeping it at room temperature.

Maple syrup has a high sugar content which acts as a natural preservative. When stored properly, in an air-tight container away from direct sunlight and heat sources, maple syrup can remain fresh for months or even years.
