For the best buy, choose firm tomatoes with smooth skins. Green tomatoes will ripen at room temperature.
To prepare fresh tomatoes, rinse and slice or chop. Eat fresh or cooked.
To store fresh, keep tomatoes at room temperature (out of direct sun) for 2 -3 days, then store in refrigerator up to a week.
Tomatoes contain vitamin A, which is good for healthy eyes and skin.
Easy Additions
One medium tomato chopped is about 1/ cup.
