What is the best way to store tomatoes?!


Question:

What is the best way to store tomatoes?

My husband says buy them a little green and they will ripen in the fridge. I say if they are green, set them in window sill to ripen.
I would just rather buy them ripe enough to eat now!
What do you think?


Answers:

When you buy tomatoes that are under ripe, both options you listed are wrong. You should put tomatoes in a paper bag for them to ripen evenly and have good flavor. When they are ripe, you can keep them on the counter in a bowl, even in the sun if you'd like. Only refrigerate a tomato once it's been cut and use up within a day.
