You may have heard that tomatoes should not be stored in the fridge. Here's why: Z -3 hexanel is the compound that gives tomatoes their lovely flavor and aroma. When tomatoes are stored in cold temperatures pro- duction of Z-3 hexanel is decreased leaving a bland, tasteless tomato. While we do refrigerate boxes for a short time before they get to you, as long as you take them out and let them finish ripening on the counter (away from direct sun- light), they should still retain their flavor. Place under-ripe fruit in a warm spot or in a brown bag to ripen. If tomatoes are red and soft, they will keep for 2-3 days at room temp.
