Keep tomatoes at room temperature until they’re ripe
The debate over whether to keep tomatoes in or out of the refrigerator has raged for a long time. This is because their enzymes can modify the flavor and texture of the food if we keep it refrigerated, but there is a formula we can use instead.
Keep tomatoes at room temperature until they’re ripe to extend their shelf life. After that, we can store unripe and refrigerated fruits separately to avoid over-ripening. As a result, we’ll always have perfect-tasting tomatoes at our disposal for some yummy sauce.
