tomatoes
Cold contributes to changes in the appearance, taste, and aroma of tomatoes, as low temperatures destroy the membranes in their cell walls. In the refrigerator, the ripening process of tomatoes is interrupted, causing their taste to deteriorate.
Proper storage of tomatoes ensures they maintain their full flavor and texture. Refrigeration halts their natural ripening, leading to a loss of taste and an unappealing texture. For the best flavor, store tomatoes at room temperature where they can continue to ripen naturally.
