20 Things Most People Wrongly Store In The Fridge

7. Tomatoes

Refrigerating tomatoes may seem like a good idea. But it saps the tomatoes of their rich flavor and slows the ripening process down. Tomatoes that are not fully ripened do not have the same taste and flavor. They tend to be tasteless. Your fridge affects the texture of the tomatoes.

They become ‘slushy’ and soft. The red color of tomatoes is diminished in a refrigerated environment. That’s why tomatoes are best stored at room temperature and in natural lighting.
