Future perfect
Storing tomatoes
If you buy tomatoes from the shops it is likely they will have
been kept in the fridge before getting to you. Therefore the best way to
store them at home, to keep them at their best for longer, is to keep
them in the fridge, in their original packaging. When you want to use
them take them out of the fridge and let them reach room temperature for
optimum taste.If you grow your own or know they haven't been kept in a
fridge before then for best flavour keep them at room temperature. But
of course if you know you won't get round to eating them in a couple of
days pop those int he fridge so they don't go to waste.http://england.lovefoodhatewaste.com/
