  • Store tomatoes are not tomatoes. Unless you’re buying somewhere legit and expensive af, the tomatoes you see in stores are picked green and gassed to turn red. They are dog shit. Probably worse, actually. Seek out local farms near you and get the good shit (and often cheaper than places like whole foods).

    Tomatoes are one thing I never buy in a store, except sauce/canned tomatoes, as those products are derived from ripe tomatoes.

    Don’t put tomatoes in the fridge, if possible. Put them in the sun, if they need to ripen more, otherwise put them somewhere dark and cool, but not cold.

    Basically, store them like potatoes. 50-55F is ideal. They can stay for weeks like that.

    (This is all said with the understanding that the tomatoes are whole/uncut. Once they’re chopped up, the fridge is the best option, but they’re only good for a few days)
