1 Bananas - Refrigerating bananas slows down ripening and can lead to bitter flavors and blackened skins. Store them outside the fridge for optimal ripening.

2 Melons - Room temperature storage helps preserve antioxidants in melons, while refrigeration can reduce their nutritional value.

3 Mangoes - Mangoes quickly blacken and spoil in the fridge due to sensitivity to Ethylene oxide gas, which accelerates ripening.

4 Winter Squash - Thick-skinned squash like butternut should be kept at room temperature to maintain texture and quality.

5 Avocados - It is best to store avocados at room temperature until ripe, then refrigerate to extend shelf life.

6 Cucumbers - Over-chilling cucumbers can lead to watery spots and faster spoilage. It is recommended to store them in the fridge for up to three days.

7 Persimmons - Ripening persimmons should be kept at room temperature to avoid a month-long ripening process in the fridge.

8 Peaches - Extended refrigeration can dehydrate peaches and diminish their flavour. Leave them on the counter until ripe.

9 Passion Fruit and Kiwi Fruit - They absorb moisture quickly and spoil if refrigerated for too long.

10 Tomatoes - Storing tomatoes in the fridge can cause them to lose flavour and become mushy. Keep them at room temperature in a paper bag to ripen quickly.
