How to store them properly:
In a dark, dry, and ventilated place, such as a cupboard or pantry, away from sunlight.
2. Onions
The refrigerator is a humid environment, and the onion absorbs that moisture easily. This causes it to soften, deteriorate faster and promote the growth of invisible microorganisms.
In addition, the cold destroys some of your natural antioxidants, which are essential for fighting inflammation and protecting cells from aging.
How to store them correctly:
In a cool, dry place with good air circulation, such as a basket or a paper bag.
3. Tomatoes
The cold stops the natural processes that allow the tomato to retain its flavor and nutrients. The pulp becomes floury, loses firmness, and its antioxidants, especially those that protect the heart and brain, are reduced.
The cold tomato may look normal on the outside, but on the inside it has lost much of its nutritional value.
How to store them correctly:
At room temperature, away from direct sun, preferably with the stem facing upwards.
