Papaya
Papaya? Papino? Paw-paw? What do you call it? I call it delicious fruit that is no longer considered seasonal since it’s imported at every time of the year now. Putting this tropical delight in the fridge will slow down the ripening process and it could also give it a watery taste. That watery taste is just… yuck!
Sweet Potatoes
Let’s throw in a little bit of science here – when you put sweet potatoes in the fridge, the structure of the cell walls changes. So what does that mean? Well it means that they become hard… even harder than they already are. Your best bet is to put them in a cool place which is dark and well-ventilated.
