Keep at Room Temperature: Store ripe tomatoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.
Avoid Refrigeration: Refrigerating tomatoes can affect their flavor and texture.
Use a Basket or Bowl: Place tomatoes in a shallow bowl or basket for even air circulation.
Stem Side Down: Store tomatoes with the stem side down to prevent bruising and preserve freshness.
Separate Ripening Tomatoes: If some tomatoes are not fully ripe, keep them separate to ripen naturally.
Store in a Cool Spot: Keep tomatoes in a cool, dry place (around 55°F or 13°C) for longer shelf life.
Don’t Stack Too High: Avoid stacking tomatoes too high to prevent crushing and spoilage.
