Key Points
   

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.

Add chopped tomatoes to scrambled eggs.

Tuck sliced tomatoes into sandwiches.

Remember to rinse all fruits and vegetables before using.
