Produce Tips - Tomatoes

Produce Tips on Tomatoes

Here are a few quick and easy to remember tips I have found on a website called The Mom's Buzz.   This site is a great resource on a variety of topics, including produce! 

Here are some facts and tips about tomatoes:
  • Shelf Life: 4 -7 days
  • Storage: store at room temperature away from sunlight.  Never refrigerate!!!
  • Tip: for homemade salsas use seeded tomatoes.  Here is how to seed tomatoes. To remover excess of seeds and water, cut in half cross-wise, then hold cut side down and gently squeeze.  Your salsa will have a more intense tomato flavor and will be less watery!
