Hi everyone! Who hasn’t experienced this? You buy some delicious tomatoes, the kind that smell like summer, and in the blink of an eye, they’re overripe. Don’t worry! At Ramirez Tomatoes, we know how valuable each of our tomatoes is, so we want to share some simple tricks with you so you can enjoy their freshness for longer.
-Temperature is key: To start, don’t store your tomatoes in the refrigerator if they aren’t fully ripe yet! The cold can alter their flavor and texture. The ideal is to leave them at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.
-Handle with care: Tomatoes are delicate, so treat them gently. Avoid stacking them too high and make sure they don’t bump into each other. If you have some that are ripening faster, separate them so they don’t speed up the ripening of the others.
-The stem trick: If you leave the stem attached to the tomato, it will help it stay fresh longer. It’s like their little freshness guardian!
-What if they’re already very ripe? Don’t discard them! They’re perfect for making flavorful homemade sauces, creamy soups, or even delicious fried tomatoes. Nothing goes to waste!
With these little tips, you can enjoy the authentic taste of our Ramirez Tomatoes for longer and make the most of each one. We hope you find them helpful!
