Did you know?
Sunlight doesn't ripen tomatoes. the warmth of the air does. Store tomatoes with
the stems down and they will stay fresh longer.
You can pick your green tomatoes at the end of the garden season, wrap them in
newspaper and store in your vegetable drawer. Take them out and set them on the
counter and they will ripen and still taste good. |
