If you're one of those people who keeps tomatoes in the fridge, you might want to stop.
如果你是那些用冰箱保存西紅柿的人，你可能會想停止。
That is, unless you like them nice and tasteless.
也就是說，除非你喜歡它們漂亮而無味。
According to a new study from the University of Florida, chilling tomatoes in the refrigerator might make them last longer, but it "greatly reduces flavor quality."
根據佛羅里達大學的一項新的研究，在冰箱中冷卻番茄可能會使它們保存的更久，但大大降低了風味質量。
Why? Storing tomatoes below 54 degrees stops their genes from making the substances that give tomatoes their trademark flavor.
為什么？在54度以下存儲西紅柿會阻止它們的基因產生獨特味道的物質。
And once those genes are turned off, you can't get that flavor back. At least, not all of it.
一旦這些基因被關閉，你就不能找回那個味道。至少，不是所有的。
This can happen in your refrigerator at home or even in cold storage after the tomatoes have been harvested.
這可能發生在你家的冰箱里，或西紅柿收獲后的冷藏室里。
Scientists are currently looking into developing a method to breed tomatoes that don't lose their flavor in the fridge.
科學家們目前正在研究開發一種方法來培育西紅柿，使其在冰箱里不失去味道。
But until then, experts recommend leaving them out on the counter or in a shady spot. On average, tomatoes have a shelf life of about a week at room temperature.
但在那之前，專家建議把它們放在柜臺或陰涼的地方。平均來說，西紅柿在室溫下有一個星期的保質期。
