Refrigerating these 17 foods can be harmful to your health!

12. Basil

Resist the temptation to put fresh basil in the fridge, as it wilts faster in the crisper than anywhere else because its leaves are so tender. In addition, basil tends to absorb the odors of nearby foods. To preserve the texture and flavor of basil for as long as possible, treat it like a flower: put it in a glass of fresh water.
