NEVER
REFRIGERATE FRESH TOMATOES!
Cold temperatures
make the flesh of a tomato pulpy and destroys
the flavor. Always store tomatoes at room
temperature stem-end up.
How To Ripen
Tomatoes: To ripen, place green or unripened
tomatoes in a brown paper bag and place in a
dark spot for three or four days, depending on
the degree of greenness. The bag will trap the
fruit's ethylene gas and encourage ripening. Do
not put tomatoes in the sun to ripen - this
softens them.
