If you refrigerate tomatoes, they go bland --- the cold temperatures kills some of the flavour. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/10/18/science/tomato-flavor-ref

    In supermarkets tomatoes are usually sold not ripened fully (for a longer shelve life). Keeping them in a warm, bright place will ripe them more and taste improves slightly.
