Many people store tomatoes incorrectly and are then surprised by the lack of bright flavor.
Do you think that the ideal place to store tomatoes is the refrigerator? You are deeply mistaken!
Low temperatures make red fruits tasteless.
What happens to tomatoes in the refrigerator
In cold conditions, the cell membrane of the fruit is destroyed, reports TUT NOVOSTI .
This happens due to the presence of an enzyme in the vegetable that reacts negatively to low temperatures.
The result of this dangerous process is that delicious tomatoes turn into tasteless ones.
In addition, the texture of the fruit deteriorates. And the shelf life of the product is also reduced.
Therefore, do not put tomatoes in the refrigeration unit! The only exception should be made for fruits that may soon start to spoil.
Where to store tomatoes
Tomatoes should be stored at room temperature.
But you shouldn’t put the fruits on the windowsill: direct sunlight can have a negative effect on the vegetable.
It is better to place vegetables on newspaper under the bed or leave them on the countertop.
If you still don’t want to remove the tomatoes from the windowsill, just cover them with a clean cloth.
For reference
Tomato is an annual or perennial herbaceous plant, a species of the genus Solanum of the Solanaceae family.
