Sweet Potatoes
The cold temperature of the fridge can alter the taste and texture of sweet potatoes, turning them starchy and less flavorful. Additionally, storing sweet potatoes in the fridge can cause them to develop an unpleasant metallic taste. The low humidity levels in the refrigerator also contribute to this issue, as they accelerate moisture loss from the tubers, leading to shriveling and dryness.
Instead of keeping sweet potatoes in the fridge, it’s best to store them at room temperature in a cool, dark place with good ventilation.
