@{Brun Torfs} Have you heard? It’s best to never add tomatoes to the refrigerator! Refrigerating causes the fruit to lose flavor as it ripens. Tomatoes are best stored at room temperature until they fully ripen. Once they are fully ripe, you can consume them or store them in a cooler place if needed. However, it’s still preferable not to refrigerate them to maintain their optimal flavor and texture.
