How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Tomatoes
- To buy good tomatoes, you should choose those that are plump with a bright red color, evenly colored, and have a mild, characteristic fragrance.
- Freshly picked tomatoes will have the stem tightly attached to the fruit. Also, you should select those of moderate size, not too big or too small; when you press them gently, they should feel slightly firm rather than soft and mushy.
- Avoid buying tomatoes that are bruised, unevenly ripened, have fallen off the stem, or show signs of rot or wrinkled skin, as these are tomatoes that have been harvested for a long time and are no longer fresh.
