Experts state that storing certain vegetables in the refrigerator can be harmful to health.
Medianews.az reports that the publication "Simply Recipes" writes that potatoes, onions, and basil are not suitable for cold storage.
Potato: When stored in the cold, starch converts to sugar, and when cooked, a potential carcinogenic substance called acrylamide forms. The FDA has officially warned about this.
Basil: Loses essential oils in the cold, darkens quickly, and wilts.
Onion: Softens in a humid environment, rots quickly, and emits a bad odor.
