Putting fresh groceries in the fridge is the quickest and easiest option after a shop, but whether or not those items belong in there is another story.
把新鲜食品放冰箱里是从商店回来后最先做、也是最容易做的事,但那些食物是否该放冰箱里却是另一回事。
Surprisingly, most fruits and vegetables are better off out of the fridge at first, with many of them only needing refrigeration once fully ripe.
出人意料的是,大多数水果蔬菜最好先不要放冰箱里,其中有很多只在完全成熟之后才需要冷藏。
Daily Mail Australia spoke to leading senior nutritionist from NAQ Nutrition, Aloysa Hourigan, to find out what should be in the fridge and what should remain at room temperature.
《每日邮报》驻澳大利亚记者向NAQ Nutrition首席高级营养师阿罗伊莎•霍瑞根咨询了什么该放冰箱里、什么该常温保存。
BREAD
面包
Putting bread in the fridge will dry it out so if you are not going to eat it fast, then the better option is to freeze it and get slices out as you need them.
面包放冰箱里会变干,所以如果你吃得慢的话,最好冷冻,吃的时候切片。
For those who do choose to keep it in the fridge, multi grain bread is the best choice as it doesn't dry out as easily as white or wholemeal bread does.
对那些选择冷藏的人来说,最好选杂粮面包,因为它不像白面包或全麦面包那么容易变干。
TOMATOES
西红柿
Tomatoes are commonly refrigerated after purchase, but there is a reason they are kept at room temperature at the supermarket.
西红柿买回来通常会冷藏,但在超市里常温放置是有原因的。
'In terms of becoming ripe enough to eat, tomatoes do better when they are out of the fridge,' Ms Hourigan said.
霍瑞根女士说:“想让西红柿变熟能吃,不放冰箱里确实更好。”
'Once they reach their ripeness they can go in the fridge otherwise they start to spoil...but tomatoes won't ripen in the fridge by themselves.'
“一旦熟了就要冷藏,否则会开始腐烂……但西红柿放冰箱里是不会自己变熟的。”
