Why You Shouldn't Store Tomatoes and Potatoes Together

Storing tomatoes and potatoes together can lead to faster spoilage of the potatoes. Tomatoes release ethylene, a gas that causes premature ripening and sprouting in potatoes.

This practice may seem harmless, but it can ruin your potatoes faster than you think. To keep your potatoes fresh, store them in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated place, away from tomatoes and other ethylene-producing fruits.
