3. Mushrooms with onions and garlic

You may think that these three ingredients make a great combo for your dishes. And while that’s perfectly reasonable, when it comes to storage, it may be a little tricky. But why is this a general rule? Well, for those who don’t know, mushrooms are incredibly porous since they are considered fungi. This implies that in the kitchen, they may (and will) take in smells from adjacent food.

Avoid storing your newly purchased mushrooms in the refrigerator with these two vegetables if you don’t want any strong smells on them. Additionally, it is advised to place them in paper bags if you want to keep them fresh for, say, a week.
