Noob Food Q's

Vegetable brain dump ahead - warning!

Garlic doesn't go in the fridge. Don't know what they don't do to garlic over here but when I get one of those plaited garlic bunches from France it will happily sit in the cupboard for up to 6 months and still be fine. Those tiny white garlic bulbs from Sainsburys go soft and start to go brown within about 2 weeks :/

Onions are quite happy out the fridge too. Potatoes I find go sweet in the fridge and I found out it's because the starch converts to sugar in the cold. They need to be cool only but in the dark or they will go green.

Bananas and tropical fruit gets damaged by the cold and go black.

Avos are ALWAYS rock hard from the supermarket and I find they need days out in the warm to become edible.

Asparagus is prime veg, like expensive meat and I do my damndest to not waste any of it so it goes in the fridge if it hasn't ended up int he cooking pot as soon as it reaches the kitchen.
