Avocados: Cold temperatures can stop the ripening process of unripe avocados and make them hard and inedible.

Bread: The cold air in the fridge dries bread out much faster than storing it at room temperature.

Garlic: Whole heads of garlic should not be stored in the fridge, as the cold and moisture can promote mold growth.

Honey: Honey naturally crystallizes over time, and refrigeration speeds up this process. Honey can be stored for years in your pantry at room temperature.

Melons (Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Honeydew): Refrigeration can alter the flavor and texture of melons.

Potatoes: Cold temperatures can turn the starches in potatoes into sugars, leading to a sweeter and less desirable taste.
