Home On The
A Time For Tomato Lovers
If you arc a tomato lover,
this is your lime of year,
says the U S Department of
Agriculture. Tomatoes are in
moderate to liberal supply
throughout the year, but now
is the time when you will find
an abundance of locally
grown tomatoes at roadside
stands and supermarkets.
locally grovvn tomatoes,
of course, arc a special treat.
They are usually varieties
suited to y our growing area
and season. Also, they don't
have to be shipped long
distances to market and
therefore can be allowed to
stay on the vine longer.
In order to successfully
complete the ripening
process, tomatoes should
reach a certain stage of
maturity before they are
picked But producers who
provide your winter tomato
supply do not enjoy the same
privileges as local growers.
They ship their product long
distances and in order to get
them to market in good
condition find it necessary to
pick the tomatoes when they
are mature but not red. The
ripening process continues
from the field to the time
when you .consume the
tomato. Local growers can

wail until the tomatoes are
red before picking and still
get them to market in good
condition. Even these
tomatoes, however, may still
need a little more time to
ripen fully. The home gar
dener is the only grower
who can afford to leave a
tomato on the vine until the
desired color has developed.
Whether your tomato
source is your own garden, a
roadside stand, or the
supermarket, here are some
tips from USDA'S
Agricultural Marketing
Service to help with your
selection;
For slicing, pick out
tomatoes that are fairly well
formed. Avoid tomatoes that
are extremely lopsided,
elongated, or angular. If you
are going to dice the tomato
or serve it in chunks, the
shape really doesn’t matter.
Avoid tomatoes that are
ridged or ough. The surface
should be smooth and free
from blemishes.
Fully ripe tomatoes should
be overall rich red and
slightly soft. This can be
easily detected by gentle
handling.
Tomatoes that aren’t fully
ripe should be firm, with
color ranging from pink to
(YrenusoT)

light red.
Avoid overripe and
bruised tomatoes. They will
be both soft and watery.
Avoid tomatoes with a deep
green or yellow area around
the stem scar or with growth
cracks. Soft, watersoaked
spots, depressed areas, or
surface mold are indications
of decay.
To ripen tomatoes at
home, keep them in a warm
place. Don’t store them in
the refrigerator unless they
are fully ripe. Cold tem
peratures may keep them
from ripening later on.
Once tomatoes are ripe,
they will keep m the
refrigerator for some time.
At the produce counter,
you are your own best judge
of quality. Remember that
all fresh vegetables are
perishable. Buy only what
you need and buy in season
when prices are most
reasonable. Beware of
“bargains.” Even if the
price is low, it usually isn’t
worth buying damaged
produce.
