Um sweaty dry beans are shelf stable for five years ☝️🤓
How can my beans be sweaty and dry?
Same as the girls I hit on at the gym.

FWIW onions, garlic, bananas and potatoes will last longer outside the fridge. Just don’t put the onions and bananas near each other
Tomatoes can last longer in the fridge, but it completely destroys their taste and resilience to mould, so one turning is going to ruin them all pretty quickly. Kinda a non issue with supermarket tomatoes as they’ve already been refrigerated to the point of tasting like wet lettuce, but if you get your hands on fresh tomatoes, never put them in the fridge.
Also, in a lot of cases, supermarket tomatoes are nowhere close to ripe. Supermarket tomatoes are generally garbage anyway, but if you can give them a day or two to ripen.
Same with melons. BIiiiiiiiiig But: melons & tomatoes, once sliced, need to be refrigerated (food safety issue)
Oh yes 100% I’d say that applies to anything that’s been cut tbh, not necessarily always food safety, but anything you’ve sliced is gonna go off pretty quickly if not in the fridge

Avocados are the worst offenders in another way — they turn from unripe to overripe in a matter of single day it seems, and the only way to check the ripeness is to cut them up. No other fruit pulls this trickery.

Have you heard about looking under the stem to check ripeness?
No, but now I’ll try that, thank you!
Someone has never seen a pawpaw fruit then…
Frozen veggies are cheap and healthy and can weather many ice ages in the back of the freezer before being rediscovered
Store your avocados in the fridge in a bowl/tupperware of water. They will ripen much much slower. Like 5x I swear.
Yeah because even bacterias don’t want that junk lol
