Did you know tomatoes often lose their flavour when stored incorrectly? In winter, when kitchen temperatures vary, proper storage is even more important. Here’s how to keep your tomatoes fresh and tasty for longer.
- Avoid the fridge: Cold temperatures dull flavour. Store tomatoes at room temperature whenever possible.
- Keep them stem-side down: This reduces air exposure and slows spoilage.
- Use breathable bowls: Avoid plastic bags; instead, store in ceramic bowls or on a countertop.
- Separate overly ripe tomatoes: One overripe tomato can speed up ripening of others.
Winter homes may feel cooler, but as long as tomatoes are kept away from draughts, they maintain their texture and flavour beautifully.
Proper storage means less waste — and more delicious meals made with R&L Holt tomatoes.
