Just Bought Roma Tomatoes-Fridge or no fridge?

[drewb123]

I plan on using my toamtoes sat, should I leave them on the counter or in fridge?

Tomatoes in the fridge? That's like keeping well, tomatoes in the fridge. NEVER

[leahvh]

Even most of the containers now a days say DO NOT REFRIGERATE. the natural sugars turn to starch yuk!

I don't REALLY need to reply...everyone has it down pat...the only time I put a tomato in the fridge, if ever, is after it's been cut open....leave those romas on the counter or windowsill...it's unanimous!

Never refrigerate fresh tomatoes, it kills the flavor.

i feel like the fridge also adds a mealiness -- unless that's just me imagining things. unless they were going to rot because you can't use them in time, i would definitely say counter.

counter. The refrigerator will make them starchy and tasteless.

[enbell]

I vote counter

We did an at home experiment last summer. Counter top tomatoes beat out the fridge toms hands down.

I don't refrigerate tomatoes. It runis the flavor, especially homegrown ones!
