Tomatoes might struggle to ripen if kept in the refrigerator
Hands up if you’ve ever put your tomatoes in a refrigerator? Don’t worry, most of us have. Yet, we’re here to tell you that placing your tomatoes in the refrigerator will actually ruin their taste and flavor. That’s because the moisture and the cold conditions stop the tomatoes from ripening as they would in room temperate conditions.
If they don’t ripen as they normally would, they probably won’t taste like the tomatoes you love. In fact, they might not taste nice at all! If you want the best quality tomatoes, then try to keep them in a natural environment, with natural lighting, and away from other vegetables, as the gasses they release can ripen other food.
