"Counter" Intelliegence

If you are like most people me included you store all your vegetables in the crisper. This however is not the case with all vegetables.
Tomatoes - why not fridge? Chilly air dulls the flavor and makes them more acidic. Keep fresh tip place in a spot away from windows so they dont' get direct sunlight Use within 1 week

Potatoes why not fridge? The starch in them will quickly turn into sugar, resulting in too-sweet spuds when cooked. Keep it fresh tip son't wash until ready to eat. Use within 2 to 4 weeks

Cucumbers why not fridge? they become yellow and watery. Keep fresh tip stash in a plastic grocery bag. Use within 1 week

Bananas why not fridge? Low temperatures speed up spoiling. Keep fresh tip store separately on a plate in a cool dry place. Use within 3 to 4 days
