Foods That Don’t Always Need To Be Kept In The Refrigerator
While a lot of meat and dairy products need to be refrigerated to keep from molding or going bad, there are a lot of other foods that the USDA doesn’t recommend to be refrigerated. A refrigerator is a very specific, cool, dark environment that isn’t hospitable for every kind of food item. None of these foods are on the USDA’s list of refrigeration recommendations.

Keep Apples Out Of The Cold
Apples can last a week or two at room temperature, but they start to get mealy pretty quickly if you keep them in the fridge.

Enzymes within apples become far more active at room temperature, making the apples way more nutritious.
