1.The tomatoes

Tomatoes should never be stored in the refrigerator, even though we are all used to doing so. In the fridge, they lose all their flavor. Low temperatures completely interrupt the ripening process, which is precisely the essential passage for this vegetable to take on its unique, sweet and refreshing flavor.

In addition, the cold of the fridge tends to break the membranes of some fruits and vegetables (let’s consider the tomato as a fruit, even if we usually define it as a vegetable), and makes it mealy and tasteless. So, where to keep the tomatoes ? Very simple, this food retains all its properties if kept in a basket on the table.
