Are we keeping too much food in the fridge?

We are keeping too much food in our fridges, according to experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute. While some things have to be kept in the fridge other food keeps just as well in the cupboard, even in the summer and can actually get ruined if you keep it chilled.

Cher Loh, who is from the Good Housekeeping Institute's Cookery School, has told 5 live foods like bread get a "stale texture and flavour" if they are left in the fridge, and tomatoes "love the heat" so are better off left at room temperature.

Onions, garlic and even coffee are also best left out of the refrigerator.
