Veggie Tip - Storing Tomatoes


Tomatoes taste best at room temperature and can be damaged by cold temps, so I find it best to store at room temperature and out of direct exposure to sunlight. They will keep up to 5 days, and maybe more, depending on the variety and how ripe they are. However, refrigerating can help an overripe tomato keep for one or two more days. If you must refrigerate, try the butter compartment, where it's warmer When you're ready to use it, take it out 30 minutes ahead of time so it can regain some of its flavor.
