Alert: Do not put your potatoes in the fridge!

The refrigerator is definitely an essential household appliance. It is necessary to keep food fresh for a longer period. Unlike popular beliefs, not all foods necessarily need to be kept cool. This is particularly the case for potatoes which, when placed in the refrigerator, deteriorate faster, or worse, can pose a health hazard. Explanations.

In order to preserve the food as long as possible, we make the mistake of putting any type of food in the refrigerator. However, some of them are kept perfectly in the open, because the fresh can accelerate their degradation and modify their taste. Meat, fish or dairy products must be put in the cool, unlike some fruits and vegetables that it is better to keep at room temperature. This list includes potatoes.This starchy vegetable, which is one of the most consumed vegetables in the world because filling and very nutritious, can indeed be altered when it is placed in the refrigerator.

Indeed, the cold of the refrigerator acts on one of the components of the potatoes, which can alter their texture and taste. The potatoes will have a sweeter taste, will be more grainy and will darken faster during cooking. But this can also have an effect on health. We'll explain.

Starch, which is a complex carbohydrate contained in potatoes, is transformed more quickly into sugar under the effect of freshness. Thus, when these are roasted or fried, these sugars associate with asparagine, which is a natural amino acid, and produce acrylamide.

Acrylamide: What health hazard?

Acrylamide is a chemical that results from a chemical reaction. It is formed naturally in foods that contain a lot of starch, during their baking at high temperatures (over 120 ° C), especially in the case of frying or grilling. They are found in toast, chips or chips.

This chemical has been a source of concern and concern in recent years.The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified it as potentially carcinogenic to humans. In fact, a study funded by the European Union found a positive link between high levels of acrylamide in the blood and the appearance ofbreast cancer.

Although further scientific studies and research remain necessary to confirm the carcinogenic effect of acrylamide, it is healthier to limit your exposure to this substance. Avoid or reduce the consumption of foods containing them such as chips or chips.

It is also important to pay close attention to the conditions of storage of potatoes, so as not to provide the ideal environment for training. It is recommended to store the potatoes in a place protected from light and a temperature of more than 8 ° C.

Other foods not to be stored in the refrigerator:

Tomatoes

Tomatoes become soft and pasty when stored in the refrigerator. The ideal is to keep them in a place at room temperature and away from sunlight.

The onions

The cold of the refrigerator accelerates the deterioration ofonionsAnd makes them lose their crunch. It must therefore be placed in a dry place, away from light, and especially away from potatoes. Kept together, these two vegetables tend to deteriorate faster.

The bread

Keeping the bread in the refrigerator will not keep it cool, but will make it harder and dryer. It is advisable to put it in a dry place. However, if you want to preserve it for a longer period, you can keep it in the freezer.

garlic

To putgarlicIn the refrigerator is a very bad idea. The latter, under the effect of freshness, will melt more quickly. In fact, bulbs will be damaged due to moisture.

Keep it in a paper bag or a small net to place in a dry, warm place.
