In order for honey to retain its medicinal properties for a long time, it is not at all necessary to store it in the refrigerator.. At low temperatures, this product crystallizes, and at high temperatures it may deteriorate.. The optimum temperature for storing honey is 20-24 °C.

Onion.

In the refrigerator, the onion becomes hard and loses its beneficial properties.. It is best to store this product in a dark, dry and cool place..

Garlic.

Like onions, we usually store garlic in the refrigerator, mistakenly believing that in this way we prolong its shelf life and preserve its beneficial properties.. But in fact, low temperatures adversely affect garlic, reduce its taste.. In the refrigerator, garlic picks up moisture and can become moldy.. The only exception is peeled garlic.. It can be stored in the refrigerator provided that it will be used soon..

Store basil at room temperature in a glass of water.

Storing chocolate in the refrigerator for a long time leads to the fact that it becomes covered with a white coating and loses its taste.. Of course, chocolate must be protected from sunlight and high temperatures so that it does not melt.. The best option is a dark cool place.

Bread.

Very often bread is hidden in the refrigerator so that it does not get stale.. In practice, the opposite is true: bread loses its freshness in the refrigerator.. In order to prolong the life of a bakery product, you can put it in the freezer. But the ideal option is a bread box.

In order for the bread to retain its freshness for a long time, it must be cut immediately before eating..
