Butternut Squash
The humidity in your fridge can actually speed up the spoiling process of your favorite butternut squash, even if it’s whole and hasn’t been cut yet. It’s best to keep this vegetable as far away from the fridge as possible! Store your squash in a dry place to prevent the moisture from accelerating its decay. Just remember, though, that direct sunlight can also cause damage, so it’s better to keep it indoors in a cool, dry area to maintain its freshness for longer.

Tropical Fruits
Tropical fruits like mangoes, passion fruits, coconuts, and pineapples all thrive in hot climates, which is why they are designed to retain their texture and moisture in warm temperatures. Storing them in the fridge isn’t ideal because they’re not accustomed to the cold. Instead, keep them on your kitchen counter at room temperature. To prevent pests, wrap them in protective materials, such as mesh or paper, to keep flies away while still allowing them to ripen naturally.
