9. Pumpkins
Some people may want to stick small and medium sized pumpkins in the refrigerator to preserve them. A cold environment, however, can easily damage pumpkins. They need to be stored in a dry, cool environment, but not at refrigerated temperatures.
8. Watermelon
As long as this fruit hasn’t been cut open it’s best to be stored outside the fridge. Studies done by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) showed the nutritional value of melons can be adversely affected by colder temperatures. Only melons that have been sliced should be refrigerated. Those that are sliced, however, should be securely covered.
