Tomatoes are a staple in many households, particularly during the summer months, often finding their way into salads or being used to whip up tomato sauce.
A common practice is to store tomatoes in the fridge, still in their original packaging, but this method isn't typically advised. This is because tomatoes contain an enzyme that begins to break down cell membranes when exposed to cold temperatures, leading to a mushy and tasteless fruit.
