Purchasing Fresh Tomatoes
Ripe tomatoes should be firm and free of any soft spots, bruises or signs of mold. They should have bright shiny skins, feel heavy for their size and boast a lovely fresh tomato fragrance.
Storing Tomatoes
Vine-ripened tomatoes are very perishable. And since they tend to lose flavor when stored in the refrigerator, store them stem-sides down, at room temperature away from direct sunlight and use within a few days after purchase.
