Each shelf of the refrigerator is intended for specific food products.
This is common knowledge, but many people continue to use the bottom shelves incorrectly.
They are not intended for storing vegetables and fruits. What can actually be stored there?
The lower shelf is designed for cooling meat and fish. This is the coldest zone of the refrigerator. The temperature here is between 0 and +3 degrees.
Far from the best conditions for storing vegetables and fruits. This will inevitably affect the taste of these products.
Experts recommend storing vegetables and fruits on the top shelves. The temperature there is not so low, so more optimal storage conditions are created.
In addition, under the bottom shelf in most models there are pull-out drawers. They are also intended for fruits.
Glass or plastic boxes protect vegetables and fruits from too cold air.
This is why some people mistakenly believe that you can also put fruits on the shelf above these boxes. For example, if not all the products fit into the boxes.
In this case, the best place for the remaining fruit will be the top shelves of the refrigerator.
