Storing and Ripening Tomatoes

Determine whether tomatoes are fully ripe. A ripe tomato is dark red or orange, is slightly soft, has a uniform skin color and smells like a tomato.

Put unripe tomatoes in a brown paper bag and leave them at room temperature until they ripen, usually in a day or two.

Store ripe tomatoes in a cool place - around 55 degrees F. Stored this way, they should keep for five days. Avoid refrigerating tomatoes.

Store cut tomatoes in the refrigerator and use as soon as possible

NOTE: Most tomatoes bought in supermarkets are not ripe.

Temperatures below 50 F (like in your refrigerator) begin to destroy tomato flavor and texture.
