What is the best place to store tomatoes: The kitchen counter or the refrigerator?
Dont give tomatoes the cold shoulder. Store them at room temperature until they have fully ripened. This will allow them to ripen properly and develop good flavor and aroma. Store tomatoes stem-side up; leaving them stem-side down will almost always result in bruising. Try to store tomatoes out of direct sunlight, because sunlight will cause them to ripen unevenly. After tomatoes are fully ripened place them in the refrigerator; serve at room temperature.
