29 Foods to Never Put in the Refrigerator

2. Bananas

Bananas should never be refrigerated! They retain their nutrients much better when placed in room temperature. Putting them in the fridge will cause their ripening process to slow down. The riper the banana, the richer they are in nutrients. Even the black spots that appear on the banana are actually good for you, as they also contain minerals and vitamins essential to your body’s immune system.

Putting bananas in the fridge will only slow this process and you won’t be getting the full potential of benefits when you eat them.
