Experts revealed a list of products that should not be stored in the refrigerator. We explain where it's better to keep popular vegetables and fruits.

Juicy tomatoes will maintain their unique taste and texture at room temperature - such advice is given by famous chef Jess Swift Harrell. However, if tomatoes are already cut or overripe, the refrigerator will help slow down their ripening.

Fresh apples feel great in a mesh bag or wire basket placed in a cool pantry. Only cut fruits require refrigeration.

Onions can please you for up to two months if provided with a dark, cool place with good ventilation. Sliced onions can be stored in the refrigerator for no more than a week in an airtight container.

Banana lovers should know: the refrigerator is not the best choice for these fruits. Low temperature interferes with proper ripening, turning the peel dark while leaving the flesh unripe.

Fresh bread will stay tasty longer in an airtight container at room temperature. In the refrigerator, the loaf will quickly lose moisture and dry out.
