00:00Refrigerating tomatoes is a common mistake that can drastically alter their
00:04taste and texture. When exposed to cold temperatures, tomatoes lose their natural
00:08flavor and become mealy and mushy. The ideal temperature for storing tomatoes
00:13is at room temperature away from direct sunlight. This allows them to maintain
00:17their rich flavor and firm texture. If you have underripe tomatoes, place them
00:22stem-side up in a single layer to ripen properly. Once ripe, consume them within
00:28a few days for the best taste experience. So next time you buy tomatoes, resist the
00:33urge to put them in the fridge and enjoy their full vibrant flavor instead.
