Tomatoes are best stored at room temperature if you plan to use them within a week. Ensure they are kept out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. Store them stem-side down to prevent moisture from entering and causing spoilage.
2. Refrigerate Ripe Tomatoes
Once your tomatoes have fully ripened, you can extend their shelf life by placing them in the refrigerator. Allow them to come back to room temperature before consumption to retain their flavor.
3. Use Paper Towels and an Airtight Container
Line an airtight container with paper towels and place your tomatoes inside, making sure they are dry and spaced out to avoid touching. The paper towels will absorb excess moisture, helping to prevent mold growth.
4. Freeze Tomatoes for Longer Storage
