A friend of mine who has her bachelor's in nutrition informed me that you are never supposed to refrigerate tomatoes. I had NO idea, it was a big shock to me. TJ

I learned that very recently as well. I've been growing them most of my adult life and did not know that. Who knew? Pam T From: TB <tjanasaysthis@...> To:

Yeah, try to tell my husband they don't belong in fridge. Can't tell

you how many times I have come out and he has transferred all my

tomatoes to the fridge. Ick. Takes away the flavor.

If the temp is too cold, it destroys the natural sugars in tomatoes, and makes them "mealy". Tomatoes will last much longer on the counter.On Jun 2, 2012, at 1:59 AM, "" <cclose15@...> wrote: Did they say why?On Jun 1, 2012, at 10:54 PM, Pam <yourfavoritething2002@...> wrote: I learned that very recently as well.
