这5种食材不需要冰箱，在寝室也能轻松储存

 　　It’s very preferable that you should store the following 5 items out of the refrigerator. You are mistaken if you think that absolutely all products enjoy low temperatures.

　　（不是所有食物都适合放在冰箱储存哒），下面5种食品最好都在常温下保存就好。如果你要是认为所有的东西都适合低温保存，那就是一个误区啦。

　　这5种食材不需要冰箱，在寝室也能轻松储存

　　1. Bananas

　　香蕉

　　Bananas are full of vitamins and minerals. They are nutritious¹ and it’s a shame to find out that the food is losing its best properties simply because you do not know how to store it. Keep your bananas on the kitchen counter and let the fruits ripen². The ripening³ process is prevented if bananas are put in the cooler.

　　香蕉含丰富的维他命和矿物质。它们营养丰富，但如果你储存不当，他们的营养物质就会容易流失。把香蕉放在厨房的台子上，让它们自然成熟就好。如果放入冰箱的话，它们的成熟过程会受到阻碍。

　　2. Garlic

　　大蒜

　　We do not want our garlic to sprout⁴! But that’s what happens to this fragrant⁵ plant if it is kept in the cooler. Take your garlic out of the fridge and find a better place. If you keep it in a dry, cool and well place, your garlic will not lose its aroma⁶, properties and texture⁷.

　　我们都不希望大蒜发芽，但如果你把这种香料植物放进冰箱，这就是它们的下场。所以把你的大蒜从冰箱里面拿出来，找一个更好的地方安置。如果大蒜被储存在一个又干爽又凉爽的地方，它就不会丧失它的气味、属性和质地。

　　3. Honey

　　蜂蜜

　　Honey is an incredibly valuable product. Its special properties make honey one of the super foods we all should consume on a regular basis unless you are allergic⁸ to it and cannot eat it. Honey is naturally preserved and does not need to be stored in the fridge. Keep natural honey in a clean container away from sunlight. Place it in a dry place where the temperature is not too low. Although crystallizing is a normal process, you can delay it by keeping your honey in room temperature.

　　蜂蜜的营养价值尤其高。它里面特有的物质使它具备很高的营养价值，如果你不对它过敏的话，强烈推荐将其纳入你的日常饮食。蜂蜜天生就能长期保质，不推荐放在冰箱里面存储，把天然蜂蜜放置在阴凉干燥处，避免阳光直射，温度不要太低。里面出现结晶体也是正常现象，但只要让它回归室温问题就能解决。

　　4. Basil

　　罗勒

　　Basil will lose its freshness and shape if you place it in the refrigerator. Cold temperatures wilt⁹ plants, basil included. More than that, basil absorbs the smells coming from the surrounding foods. If you know how to treat flowers, you’ll know how to treat basil, too. Do the same things – keep out of the fridge in a container with fresh water.

　　罗勒如果放在冰箱，就会变得不新鲜，而且也无法保形。低温会让植物萎靡，罗勒也不例外。而且，罗勒还会吸收周围东西的气味。如果你知道怎样给鲜花保鲜，那么罗勒用同样的方法就好。不要把罗勒放在冰箱，将一个注水的容器里水培。

　　5. Eggs

　　鸡蛋

　　There are two absolutely opposite opinions regarding eggs and their storage conditions. Some people believe that the best place to keep eggs is the refrigerator. According to them, eggs stay fresh in low temperatures and cold places. Others claim that it does not really matter whether the temperature is low or not – eggs do not lose their properties anyways. The only advice we can give you is: try out both of the above mentioned storage conditions and decide which one works for you best.

　　对于鸡蛋如何存放，总有两个意见向左的阵营。一部分人认为鸡蛋就要放在冰箱最好。他们认为鸡蛋就应该放在低温的环境才新鲜。另一部人则认为，不论低温与否，鸡蛋的营养物质都不会流失。这里唯一建议是：上面两种方法你都试试，然后觉得哪种好用就用哪种。
