    Shopping for Tomatoes

    Tomatoes peak in taste towards the end of the summer, so choose ones that are firm, have smooth skin, a pleasant aroma, and are heavy for their size. Avoid soft or bruised tomatoes. Keep tomatoes at room temperature for up to a week, and don’t store in direct sunlight or cold conditions. Unripe tomatoes will ripen after several days in a perforated paper bag at room temperature.

    Tomatoes Nutritional Info

    Tomatoes Taste Profile

    In general, tomatoes are sweet and mild to taste; they shine whether served raw or cooked. Different varieties vary in sugar and water content—which affect their taste—as does when the tomato was harvested. Bring out the best in tomatoes by cooking over low, slow heat, though not in an aluminum pot (which conveys a metallic taste to tomatoes).
