00:0010 Foods That Should Never Be Stored Together
00:03Apples and Bananas
00:05Both fruits emit ethylene, accelerating ripening and bruising.
00:09Store apples in a cool and dark place. Keep bananas separate on counters for longevity.
00:15Onions and Potatoes
00:17Onions' gases and moisture trigger potato sprouting. Potatoes' humidity fosters onion mold.
00:23Store separately, well ventilated. Potatoes prefer darkness and slightly cooler air,
00:28while onions need light air flow to prevent spoilage.
00:32Cucumbers and Tomatoes Cucumbers are ethylene-sensitive.
00:36Tomatoes emit plenty, making cucumbers soft and watery.
00:40Refrigerate cucumbers. Keep tomatoes room temperature until ripe for quality.
00:44Garlic and Onions
00:46Garlic needs dry air. Onions prefer moisture. Stored together, garlic sprouts and onions
00:51soften. Separate, place garlic in a ventilated basket away from sunlight, and store onions
00:57separately in a mesh bag. Bananas and Avocados
01:01Bananas emit abundant ethylene, rapidly ripening avocados within days.
01:06Useful when desired, otherwise store apart and refrigerate avocados once softened.
01:12Apples and Carrots
01:14Carrots absorb ethylene from apples, turning them bitter and soft. Keep carrots sealed in fridge.
01:19Store apples cool and dry separately.
01:22Tomatoes and Leafy Greens
01:24Tomatoes emit ethylene that wilts leafy greens, causing slime.
01:28Keep tomatoes at room temperature. Store greens refrigerated in a high-humidity drawer.
01:33Bread and Refrigerated Foods
01:36Refrigeration dries bread, toughening texture and absorbing odors from nearby foods.
01:41Store sealed at room temperature. Freeze for longer storage.
01:45Apples and Oranges
01:47Apples prefer humid, cool storage. Oranges need drier air.
01:51Together, apples soften and oranges taste off. Keep them stored separately.
01:56Cheese and Fish
01:58Cheese readily absorbs odors, especially from fish.
02:01Store cheese wrapped and separate. Keep fish tightly wrapped in coldest refrigerator zone.
