Low temperatures are not always needed. Sometimes foods that are stored in room temperature taste better while in cold places their taste and texture change.

Here are 5 foods that should be kept out of the fridge:

1. Garlic 

Garlic starts sprouting if it is kept in the fridge. This spicy plant can also get moldy. It also changes its texture and turn rubbery. More than that, in the cooler it is almost impossible to tell whether your garlic is still fresh enough to use unless you peel it.

2. Pumpkin

Pumpkins do not like cold. This is one of the vegetables that should be stored in a dry and cool place. It’s even better if the place is well ventilated. The best option is to find a dark place such as basement. This is how you will keep your pumpkins fresh for quite a long time.
