Foods That Should Never Touch Your Fridge (And Why)

Peppers

Here’s a myth we’re about to bust: fridges don’t make peppers crisper or spicier. You’ve probably thought they did, but that’s not the case! In fact, cold temperatures can actually reduce the spiciness of your favorite peppers. To maintain their full flavor, store them in a dry place, ideally in a bag. This applies to all types of bell peppers—red, green, orange, or yellow—so no matter your preference, the same advice applies.
