6 ingredients that you shouldn't store together

6 ingredients that you shouldn t store together

Some products spoil faster if you put them side by side in the pantry.

1. Potatoes and onions

A good combination in a dish, but both products will spoil faster if they are next to each other.

2. Bananas and other fruits

Bananas produce ethylene, a substance that causes other fruits to ripen (and spoil) faster. So watch out with bananas in the fruit bowl. Although you can also use it to your advantage by placing a banana next to a fruit that needs to ripen faster.

More fruits that produce a lot of ethylene: apples, melon, passion fruit, avocados and tomatoes.

3. Cucumber and tomatoes

Cucumbers are sensitive to ethylene gas. Keep them away from tomatoes and the fruits mentioned above.
