Tomato Care

Knowing how to care for your fresh tomatoes is key. Follow our guide on how to care for your fresh tomatoes.

HOW TO STORE:

  • NEVER refrigerate – less flavor and less firmness
  • Keep ripe fruit at 55-60 degrees F
  • Keep at 85-95% relative humidity
  • Store stem-up to prevent bruised shoulders
  • Keep out of direct sunlight

HOW TO DISPLAY:

  • Bright red, ripe tomatoes will sell best so put them up front
  • Rotate your fresh tomatoes daily, removing overripe and bruised fruit
  • Display bulk and packaged tomatoes on dry tables
  • Use alternative produce, such as avocados, as a color break
  • On wet racks, insulate tomatoes to keep pulp temperature above 55 degrees F

TO TEST FOR RIPENESS:

  • Check the color – even, bright red
  • Check firmness – yields slightly to pressure
  • If tomatoes are unripe, store at 58-68 degrees F and 85-95% relative humidity, but keep out of direct sunlight. Place in an area with moderate air circulation and inspect daily until ripe. To ripen more quickly, stack boxes together on a pallet.
