13. Honey

Honey has been found in the tombs of the ancient Egyptians, not refrigerated, and even after 3,000 years, it was still good! When you put honey in your fridge it will only cause it to become hard and crystalized. Keep it in a container with a tight fitting lid, out of the sun, preferably in a cool, dark location.

 

14. Spices

Spices kept in the fridge will only grow moldy with the humidity. Keep them in an airtight container and put them in a kitchen cabinet (but not above the stove where they will get too hot) or on the counter. Keep them out of direct sunlight.

 

15. Nuts

Most nuts can be stored in a cool, dark place in an airtight container. However, if you buy nuts in bulk, you can lengthen their shelf life by putting them in the refrigerator. Seal them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge or, better still, in the freezer. Read more about benefits of different nuts.

 

16. Oil

Cooking oils, such as coconut oil, olive oil, or sunflower oil, shouldn’t be refrigerated, as this will make them thick, cloudy looking, and hard. Leave them in their original containers and put them in a cool, dark place.
