One medium-size tomato (three to a pound) cives nearly half your day's quota of vitamin C as well as generous amount of vitamin A. To get the most from tomatoes, eat them raw and fresh. They do hold a large share of their vitamins however when cooked or canned. Tomato Keeping: Ripe tomatoes keep best in the refrigerator where the cold stops the ripening proc ess. Whenever possible, peel and cut tomatoes just before using. If you must prepare them early, keep them covered in the refrig erator until time to cook or serve them. Tomato Peeling: Here are three ways to loosen tomato skins for quick and easy peeling: troke the skin with the dull edge of a knife blade; or dip the tomato in boiling water for a minute andl then cool at once in cold water: or hold the tomato on a fork and rotate over the heat of the stove until the skin is tight and shiny. Cool at once in cold water and peel. No. No! Ripening oh a sunny window sill is poor practice. Im mature green tomatoes will not ripen and are likely to spoil if held too long.
