This one simple trick leads to longer-lasting, juicier tomatoes.
Another summer, another article about how to properly store tomatoes. That's how it feels to me, anyhow. I get it, though. I love fresh-from-the-vine summer tomatoes almost more than any other food I can think of, and when I come home with a big haul from the farmers market, I'd like those tomatoes to be at peak flavor and texture for the whole week, until I can replenish them.
See, tomato skins are really good at keeping tomato juices inside the tomato, but they have one defect: Moisture can escape from the tops, where the tomatoes were attached to the vine. This moisture loss can cause a plump tomato to turn soft and wrinkly. But don't worry—there's an easy way to fix that problem. All you have to do is remove any excess vine from the tomato, then store the tomato on a flat surface, like a plate, with the vine side down.
The first was to cover up the stem stump with a little piece of tape. If moisture loss were the culprit, then creating a barrier with a piece of tape should keep those tomatoes plump and juicy, no matter what position they were stored in. As expected, the taped-up tomatoes stayed plump even when stored stem up.*, I repeated it with three dozen pairs of tomatoes and got the exact same results every time.
