Tomatoes are very versatile vegetables and that makes them one of the most common in the kitchen since they're useful for different recipes.

However they are also very delicate and likely to get moldy in a very short time if they're not stored correctly.

Let's see a few useful tips to store fresh tomatoes.

1. Quality: the first important thing to store tomatoes properly it's purchasing them. So make sure they're intact when you buy them and keep in mind the right season.

2. Where: tomatoes, contrary to general idea, are better when kept outside of the fridge. Place them in a ventilated area, in a basket and well distanced. Then cover with a clean cloth.

3. Fridge: if you wish to keep them in a fridge it's better to let them rest at room temperature for 24 hours before placing them in it. They belong to the vegetables' compartment. By doing so they will last up to 6-7 days.
