Tip Tuesday: Storing Tomatoes

Storing Tomatoes! Hey everyone and welcome to Tip Tuesday’s each week. Yep you guessed it on a Tuesday, GrubandBooze will be publishing one short tip related to food or of course booze – what else!

This is the proper way of storing tomatoes

I love tomatoes, raw, cooked, sundried, I’ll take them anyway. We all do it, get home from the grocery shopping and then place our tomatoes into the fridge to keep “fresh”. I recently learned that that is not the thing to do. Think about it, when you buy them in the grocery store or supermarket – do you find them in the fridge? The answer is no.

So the best thing to do is store them in a darkened place at room temperature. Oh and upside down too. That means stalk end downwards as this stops too much air getting into the tomatoes. By the way, they will taste better the too, the cold destroys the flavor of them.
