How to properly store tomatoes so they last a really long time (Page 2 ) | May 21, 2025

Directions:
Place a storage container on the countertop away from direct sunlight and line it with paper towels.
Arrange the tomatoes upside-down (stem-side down) in a single layer inside the container. While they can touch, make sure they are not overcrowded or piled on top of each other.
Check the tomatoes daily, discarding any that are leaking liquid or have mold spots to prevent spoilage.
General Tips for Tomato Storage:
Handle with Care: Always handle tomatoes gently to avoid bruising or damaging their skin.
Check Regularly: Inspect your stored tomatoes regularly for signs of overripening, mold, or decay. Remove any damaged ones to prevent them from affecting others.
Avoid Moisture: Excess moisture can lead to rot. Ensure your storage containers have proper ventilation to prevent moisture buildup.
Keep Them Separated: Store different tomato types separately to prevent flavor transfer and preserve their unique characteristics.
Use Within Time: Tomatoes are best when used fresh. Try to consume them within a few days to enjoy their peak flavor and texture.
Freezing:
If you have an abundance of ripe tomatoes, consider freezing them for later use. Blanch, peel, and freeze them in airtight containers or freezer bags.

Next: That’s why you have bruises on your body without hitting you.
