*PART 4*
13. Oranges
Citrus fruits are high in acidity and can be damaged by temperatures that are too cold. The skin may also become dull and spotted when stored in the fridge. Since oranges have such a thick, tough skin they do well in warmer environments.
14. Papaya
It is advised to keep papaya in the cupboard or on the counter and to turn it every so often. Papaya Australia recommends storing the papaya with a banana in a paper bag to speed up the ripening process if necessary.
15. Potatoes
Potatoes taste best when stored in a dry, cool area. They should also remain unwashed until you’re ready to use them. Refrigerator temperatures will cause the starches to break down, causing the potatoes to taste gritty and even sweet. If the potatoes have been refrigerated the skins may darken prematurely during the cooking process.
16. Pickles
Most pickles are refrigerated, but really don’t need to be. The way most pickles are made, including the high salt content, makes it unnecessary to keep them at refrigerated temperatures. In fact, pickling is often used as a food preservation method.
17. Vinegar
The great thing about vinegar is that it is self preserving. The vinegar institute did a study that confirmed the shelf life of vinegar is virtually indefinite. After long periods of storage, white vinegar will remain unchanged. Vinaigrettes that contain garlic, onion, shallots, or herbs may, however, need refrigeration.
18. Donuts
Donuts can become stale or even soggy if kept in the fridge. They’ll stay fresher if kept covered at room temperature. Donuts should, however, be eaten within a few days after they are purchased.
19. Mustard
Like ketchup, there are acids in mustard that act as natural preservatives. Mustard will stay good for about a month in the cupboard. Whether to refrigerate a bottle of mustard comes down to a matter of taste. Do you like cold or room temperature mustard on your sandwiches?
