    I’m the opposite, parents kept it in the fridge, if I know I’ll use it, rolls and such all stay out.

    Tomatoes also don’t go in the fridge for me where my parents always used to. Unless I have no plans for them and they may have to sit a long time many fruits I just keep out.

    Pick them out back, place on counter. Wash before eating… If I’m not lazy. My strawberries and black cherry tomatoes/pear tomatoes often dont all make it to the sink. Get hungry having to walk them 30 meters into the house.

      This is correct with Tomatos.

      Storing tomatoes in the fridge can ruin their taste and texture. The cold makes them go mealy and lose their juiciness. Plus, the chill dulls their flavour. Also, certain moulds can thrive in the fridge and spoil the tomatoes faster once they warm up again. For the best taste and texture, keep your tomatoes at room temperature! It makes a massive difference
