Tomatoes
Greenhouse
1. Never refrigerate a Houweling’s Tomato. Guess I ought to come clean and tell you not to refrigerate any tomato, regardless of who grows it, because this is a quick way to lose flavor. To my dismay, 50% of people still insist on refrigeration. Maybe it’s because the tomatoes they buy aren’t greenhouse grown and there’s not much flavor to begin with. Forgive me for that – I can be a little competitive at times. The truth is this: Greenhouse grown tomatoes may cost a little more but the taste is worth every penny. So make a late New Year’s resolution and declare your refrigerator ‘verboden’ (that’s Dutch for forbidden) to tomatoes. Instead keep them on the counter out of direct sunlight with the stem side facing up.
