With the arrival of summer we are all trying to consume fresher dishes. They are perfect for fighting the inevitable Grandpa summer. In this regard, some time ago we talked about one very original recipe which comes from Mexico. It has a spicy taste that few would think they associate with summer, but which is great for cooling down.
If we think of summer ingredients, tomatoes are certainly among them. Their freshness makes them perfect for fighting the heat. A nice tomato is a great addition to any salad, so almost everyone has some at home.
What not everyone knows, however, is the correct method for preserving tomatoes. If storage is wrong, you obviously risk throwing them away ahead of time. So let’s see how to avoid mistakes and keep this excellent vegetable fresh for a long time. Here are the few tips that follow to perfectly preserve tomatoes at home.
The basic concepts
Let’s start with an important question: should they be kept in the fridge or outside? Here there is no doubt, we must leave them out. Putting them in the fridge, in fact, damages their flavor, texture and even color. The cold, in fact, blocks the activity of some enzymes that contribute to the very good taste and its bright red color.

In short, the ideal is to keep them at room temperature. If it gets too hot, however, they risk ripening and rotting too quickly. For this reason, the best thing to do would be to put them in the cellar and, if this is impossible, at least protect them from the sun’s rays.
Finally, a piece of advice that few think about. We store the tomatoes upside down, because the top is harder and more resistant than the one below.
So we figured out how to best preserve tomatoes. In this way they will last much longer and we will avoid waste.
