Back in December, my husband and I visited a whole bunch of friends and relatives across the US. We enjoyed their hospitality, marveled at their American-sized appliances, and generally had a wonderful time. But during this marathon trip of peeking into the lives of our loved ones, I was surprised at how many of them… keep their tomatoes in their refrigerators!
I guess this is just one of those things I thought everybody knew, but apparently it is worth pointing out: putting tomatoes in the refrigerator zaps their flavor. It also can mess up their texture. Experts recommend never storing ripe tomatoes below 55 degrees Fahrenheit; we just keep them in the fruit bowl.
I feel much better now that I’ve gotten that little piece of advice out there. :)
