Sealing in the Juices Is Not Real

For a long time, the conventional wisdom has been to go right along with your household rule. It's that you never put a raw tomato in the fridge. But there are some serious reasons for not just taking that research and then running straight to the conclusion. So first of all, if you're buying a tomato at the grocery store, it may have already been chilled during transport and storage. Because if you think about the physical necessities of the food supply chain, how would we actually harvest ripe tomatoes? I mean, you couldn't do it even an A-list film star like Tom Hanks or Leonardo DiCaprio.
