Refrigerating unripe avocados can slow down the ripening process and affect their texture and flavour. Allow avocados to ripen at room temperature and move them to the refrigerator if needed.
Onions should be stored in a cool, dry place with good ventilation. Refrigeration can lead to a soft and mouldy texture, and the moisture in the fridge may compromise their flavour.
