Conserver les tomates avec des cendres est une méthode traditionnelle qui remonterait à des centaines d’années… | April 21, 2025

This image demonstrates a traditional method for preserving tomatoes using wood ash. Here’s a breakdown of what’s happening in each frame, along with a brief explanation of the method:

Step-by-Step Process:
Top-Left Frame:
Fresh tomatoes are being placed in a cardboard box. The box likely already has a thin layer of ash at the bottom to cushion the tomatoes and protect them from moisture.

Top-Right Frame:
After placing the tomatoes in a single layer, wood ash is gently poured over them. The ash acts as a desiccant, drawing out moisture and preventing mold and decay. It’s crucial that the tomatoes don’t touch each other directly.

Bottom-Left Frame:
More tomatoes may be added in layers with ash in between, or the top layer of tomatoes is now fully covered with ash. A cardboard divider is placed to seal the top and likely prevent insects or air exposure.

Bottom-Right Frame:
The box is closed and stored in a cool, dry place. The ash insulates the tomatoes, maintaining a relatively stable environment to extend shelf life significantly.
