She said: \u201cIf you\u2019re storing your tomatoes in the fridge, you\u2019re making a big mistake.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe cold actually kills the flavour and freshness by creating enzymes that rupture the cells, making the tomato super pasty when you take it out.\u201d<\/p>\n
You may have noticed that tomatoes aren’t refrigerated in the supermarket when you buy them, and there could be a good reason for this.<\/p>\n
Whilst many fruits are best kept refrigerated, tomatoes should never be kept in the fridge.<\/p>\n

Overexposure to cool air actually harms the makeup of the tomato, which yields grainy, flavourless salad additions.<\/p>\n
The influencer then went on to discuss how households are \u201csupposed\u201d to store them.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cThe best way to properly store an unripe or perfectly ripe tomato is to put it stem down in a single row away from sunlight.<\/p>\n
Once the tomato gets over-ripe and households see that they will not use it for a couple of days, this is only when the fruit can be put in the fridge.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The TikToker explained: \u201cAt this point, they\u2019re already ripe so the enzymes won\u2019t disrupt the flavour.\u201d<\/p>\n
For anyone wondering how to ripen a tomato faster, this can be done by popping it in a paper bag with a banana.<\/p>\n
Leave the bag in a warm spot, just for an afternoon. Any longer and they\u2019ll over-ripen.<\/p>\n
