Bananas
Bananas definitely don’t thrive in the chill of a fridge. In fact, the cold can speed up the process of turning them black! To get the best out of your bananas, buy them before they’re fully ripe and let them ripen naturally at room temperature in your kitchen. And here’s a bonus: bananas are excellent for your blood pressure, so go ahead and enjoy them!

Whole Melons
Just like bananas, melons don’t do well in the cold, as refrigeration can speed up their rotting. When you buy a melon, store it in a cool, dry place—not too cold! Since melons are often a go-to for summer gatherings, it’s tempting to keep them chilled, but they actually last longer at room temperature. If you’re buying a whole melon, you’re likely preparing for a fun time with friends, so be sure to cut it up and enjoy it quickly before it dries out. It’s the perfect refreshing treat to savor in the garden!
