Foods You Should Never Store In The Fridge

Mangos

Mangos are tropical fruits that thrive in warm temperatures, so refrigeration can dull their natural sweetness and alter their delicate texture. The cold temperatures of the fridge can cause the mango’s enzymes to break down, resulting in a mushy or mealy texture. Additionally, refrigerating ripe mangos can disrupt the fruit’s natural ripening process, leading to an inferior taste.

Mangos are best stored at room temperature until they reach your desired level of ripeness. Once ripe, they can be kept at room temperature for up to five days.
