Tomatoes - The Taste Of Summer. First up the Roma!


A.K.A. Plum Tomatoes

Did you know the french called tomatoes pommes d'amour (love apples) and that they are a member of the toxic nightshade family along with tobacco? Love or death I think almost all of us can't wait for that day in summer when the much loved tomato ripens to the vibrant sun soaked red. Tomatoes taste like summer and today marks the day all of us in the CSA have been waiting for - the day the tomatoes arrive!
















Storage tips: Store tomatoes in a cool cupboard stem side down (this will make them keep longer).  The flavor is reduced when tomatoes are kept in a refrigerator.
