Are You Guilty of These Common Food Storage Mistakes?
Stashing Tomatoes
Tomatoes lose their flavor and texture when placed in the refrigerator. The cold temperature causes them to become mealy and bland. The best way to store tomatoes is at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, with the stem side down.
This keeps them juicy and flavorful. Once fully ripe, if not used immediately, you can pop them in the fridge for a couple of days to prevent over-ripening. Keeping tomatoes at their best ensures they remain a tasty addition to salads, sauces, and sandwiches.
