Storing tomatoes in the refrigerator slows down the ripening process, as the cold temperatures preserve the tomatoes’ natural color, texture, and shape. Refrigerating the fruit also prevents early spoilage, as leaving ripe tomatoes on the counter increases enzyme activity and ripeness.
Additional Information
• Place the cut tomatoes in an airtight container.
• Don’t put them in the coldest part of the fridge.
• Cover it and refrigerate at around 55°F temperature.
• Consume the tomatoes within two to three days.
