Handling Tip
Selection
- Tomato is firm with a uniform red, shiny skin. Depending on the time of usage, you can choose a lighter shade of red which indicated a less ripe tomato.
- No signs of shriveling, tear skin, or blemishes.
Storage
- Unripe tomatoes should be stored at 66°F - 70°F (19°C - 21°C) with a relative humidity of ninety to ninety-five percent and no mist. The ripe tomato should be stored at 45°F (7°C) with the same relative humidity.
- The typical shelf life for unripe tomatoes is three to four weeks and seven to ten days for red tomatoes. Store tomatoes stem-end up to help preserve the quality.
- Tomato is sensitive to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening. Tomatoes should not be stored with high ethylene-producing products to extend shelf life. Tomato produces a moderate amount of ethylene.
- Tomato is sensitive to chilling injury at storage below 55°F (13°C). Symptoms include pitting, ununiformed ripening, loss of flavor, and storage decay. As tomato ripens, it becomes less sensitive to chilling injury.
