Store Tomatoes Correctly to Extend Shelf Life

What happens here

To store your tomatoes effectively, place them on a countertop with the blossom end (where the flower was) facing up and the stem end facing down. It is crucial to ensure that the tomatoes do not touch each other, allowing for plenty of air circulation around each fruit. Do not store tomatoes in the refrigerator or in plastic bags, as these conditions can negatively affect their flavor, texture, and shelf life.

Goal: Maximize the freshness and shelf life of harvested tomatoes.
