Storing some fruits in the fridge can affect their texture, flavor, and ripening process. Here are seven fruits that should not be kept in the fridge:

Bananas keep ripening after being picked. Putting them in the fridge slows this down, turning the peel black and affecting the texture and flavor.

Keep avocados at room temperature until they ripen. Once ripe, store them in the fridge to slow down further ripening.

Refrigeration makes tomatoes lose flavor and become mealy. Store them at room temperature for the best taste and texture.

Pineapples lose flavor and become mushy if stored in the fridge before ripening. Keep them at room temperature until ripe, then refrigerate if needed.

Keep mangoes at room temperature until they ripen. Refrigeration can stop the ripening process and affect their taste and texture.

Store peaches at room temperature until they are ripe. Refrigeration can make them mealy and less juicy and flavorful.

Keep whole melons at room temperature to preserve their flavor and texture. Once cut, refrigerate them to keep them fresh.
