*PART 5*
25. Cucumber
The skin of a cucumber can become damaged when it is exposed to too much cold. The University of Minnesota suggests storing cucumbers in a cool spot in the kitchen, but not the refrigerator. Ideally, cucumbers should be stored at around 55 degrees (12 ℃), cooler than room temperature but definitely warmer than the refrigerator. They’ll stay good for about a week.
26. Cereal
Most types of cereal will lose their texture if refrigerated. While the cereal may not actually be damaged, it will almost certainly be less crunchy. Most cereal boxes will also take up a lot of space unnecessarily while in the fridge.
27. Pumpkins
Some people may want to stick small and medium sized pumpkins in the refrigerator to preserve them. A cold environment, however, can easily damage pumpkins. They need to be stored in a dry, cool environment, but not at refrigerated temperatures.
28. Watermelon
As long as this fruit hasn’t been cut open it’s best to be stored outside the fridge. Studies done by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) showed the nutritional value of melons can be adversely affected by colder temperatures. Only melons that have been sliced should be refrigerated. Those that are sliced, however, should be securely covered.
29. Apples
Most types of fruits are better when kept out of the refrigerator. Flavor and texture will be better maintained when kept at temperatures that are warmer than refrigeration. Apples will usually last 1 or 2 weeks when kept at room temperature.
