Keep the cucumbers in the cupboard
According to the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, if cucumbers are kept below 10 C for more than three days, they can be injured by the cold. Symptoms include dehydration, nausea and / or vomiting. In contrast, cucumbers need a shady, cool environment away from direct sunlight. According to this theory, it is better to keep cucumbers in the cupboard, rather than vegetables in your refrigerator. READ MORE: Keep strawberries fresh for 10 days with a simple food storage tool
Store tomatoes at room temperature
Tomatoes are another salad fruit that should be stored at room temperature, according to experts. Experts from The Neff Kitchen say that cooling can “affect the taste, texture and aroma of your tomato”. The Taste of Home explains that these red fruits prefer to be kept in a cool, dark place, away from sunlight. The warm rays coming in from your window will only speed up the maturation process. However, tomatoes stored in the refrigerator are likely to last up to a week longer than those stored in the cupboard. Where do you store these vegetables?

Keep the onions in the cupboard
According to the National Onion Association (NOA), onions are best stored in a cool, dry, dark and well-ventilated room, such as a cupboard, cellar, basement or garage. Healthline explained: “This is because they absorb moisture easily. “If the temperatures or humidity are too high, they may start to germinate or rot.” Onions can last up to two months when stored in a cupboard or at a cool room temperature.
