Introduction

I love cherry tomatoes. They’re sweet, juicy, and delicious. But they also seem to go bad very quickly, which is a real shame when you consider how expensive they are in the grocery store! I’m always on the lookout for ways to make my cherry tomatoes last longer so that I can enjoy them all week long instead of having to throw them out after just one meal. So today I’m going to share with you my five best tips for making your cherry tomatoes last as long as possible:

Keep the stems attached to the fruit.

The stem is a part of the fruit, and it can be a great source of water for the plant and fruit. The stem also keeps the fruit from bruising, so it’s much less likely to get damaged if you leave it attached to your cherry tomatoes.

Don’t leave them in the sun.

Don’t leave them in the sun. Don’t put cherry tomatoes in direct sunlight, as this can cause them to turn green and lose their flavor. Instead, store your cherry tomatoes in a cool dark place like a pantry or basement so that they don’t get too hot. If you keep them out of direct sunlight and away from heat, they’ll last longer than if they were sitting on your countertop where they could overheat!

Store tomatoes at room temperature.

If you want to store tomatoes at room temperature, just place them in a plastic bag and keep them in a dark place that is dry and cool. A kitchen cupboard is usually ideal as it is usually dark, spacious and cool. This will help keep them fresh for longer.

Store your tomatoes in a plastic bag.

There are a few tricks you can use to get longer lasting cherry tomatoes. One of these is storing them in a plastic bag. By wrapping them in the plastic bag, you will be able to keep them fresher for longer. However, it is important that the bag is not too tight or else they will rot faster than usual due to lack of oxygen. The best way to store your tomatoes is by wrapping them loosely with a damp cloth and then placing them in a plastic bag before putting it in the refrigerator. You should not leave this pack open as this may cause mold growth which would spoil all other fruits inside your fridge!

Keep tomatoes away from ethylene producing fruits and vegetables.

Store your cherry tomatoes away from ethylene producing fruits and vegetables. These include apples, pears, bananas, avocados and kiwis. Ethylene is a natural gas that is produced by many plants (including these listed above). It is used to ripen fruit and vegetables that are too hard or not yet mature enough to be eaten.

Do you love cherry tomatoes but wish they lasted longer? Here are a few tricks for getting longer lasting cherry tomatoes.

• Keep the stems attached to your cherry tomatoes. This will help them stay fresh longer, because they won’t dry out as quickly.
• Don’t leave your cherry tomatoes in direct sunlight or in a place where they can get too much heat, like on top of a refrigerator or oven, where the temperature is warmer than normal room temperature (about 70°F).
• Store your cherry tomatoes at room temperature instead of in the fridge, but keep them away from ethylene producing fruits and vegetables like apples and bananas that may make your cherry tomatoes lose their flavor faster.
