Rotten tomatoes
Is anyone else having this problem?
I posted a few weeks back about the Kumatos that I bought. They were upside down in a package. The bottoms looked fine but the tops showed them to be rotten. I only bought those because oddly enough they were cheaper than the other tomatoes. Then I bought grape tomatoes at another store. Used half. Next day went to use the other half and they had black mold spots on them. Ordered cherry tomatoes to be delivered from PCC. Got tiny grape ones instead. A substitute I guess. I had gone with the cherry they were cheaper but they did not charge me more for what I got. Did not use them until the next day. One was shriveled. But two days later, the rest are shriveled. Why are the tomatoes rotting so quickly? |

You would think so. At least mine are not tasteless. I grew three kinds last year. They tasted no different from what I got from the store. I finally got some really good carrots though. Really sweet like the ones we got when I was a kid. |

Then again, I don't buy fruit or vegetables that are sold on a tray in shrink wrap so that I can't see what the underside looks like. If I'd gotten home with a package of tomatoes wrapped thusly and found they were rotton or mushy or moldy on the side I couldn't see, I'd have immediately taken them back to the store. At the very least I'd call them on the phone to complain. Bitching about bad tomatoes here won't fix her problem. Jill |

(snippage) Oh, she bought the Kumatos in a store. But she bought the ones packaged together on a tray covered in shrink wrap. You can't see the underside. She bought them because they were cheaper. That tells me the store wanted to sell them fast. I buy tomatoes (any fruit or veg, really) that I can see, touch and select myself. It also depends on how she stores them. When I buy ripe tomatoes they go straight into the refrigerator. Leaving them sitting on the kitchen counter in what she describes as "humid" conditions sure won't help matters. > Shriveled tomatoes are not rotten; they have simply lost > moisture. The loss of moisture also means a concentration of > flavor to some degree. If they have mold (black, white or green) > don't eat them.

This sort of harks back to the wasting food thread. Heh. If I'd brought home a package of tomatoes that were rotten on the underside I'd have taken them straight back to the store. Of course there will be a reason she couldn't do that. Jill Jill |

I buy the little clamshell packages of grape tomatoes all the time, and never manage to use them all before they start to go wrinkly. So I use them for making my rough version of ratatouille. Cut the tomatoes in half and put them in a baking dish with some diced zucchini, peppers, onions, and maybe squash or sweet potato. Add a sprig of thyme, a pinch of salt, and a glug of olive oil. Into the oven at 350 for about 40 minutes. It's pretty good as a side dish, and it's also tasty in frittata or on pizza. Doris |

Of course >there will be a reason she couldn't do that. > >Jill I buy a 2 pound box of Campari tomatoes (about 20 tomatoes) from Costco. The box costs $4.99. (plenty cheap) They come in a clear plastic box. I can see all sides. The box has holes to combat moisture buildup. I bring the tomatoes home and leave them on the counter. It takes me about 2 weeks to use them all. During that time they do not rot or mold. I never put tomatoes in the refrigerator. I have absolutely no idea why/how she gets stuff to spoil in her house. If true, there's something seriously wrong at her place. Janet US |

I grow more tomatoes each summer than ten familys can eat... and those tiny ones are the easiest to grow... can pick a peck daily. |

It went away because for a time, > I stopped cooking rice. I'm thnking something like that too is possible (at least for some of it). Julie is in a fairly damp climate I gather. It's not like she has mold climbing the walls or anything, but she may still have a potential spore issue there. I have a friend who can't get a good sourdough starter going. Seems it always turns pink on him. He lives in a well forested area and his backyard is pretty much natural mulch from leaves and mold. His case is fairly radical but Julie may have something a little like it going on. 'No see'um' spores or something? On the other comments on it being the store selling lower quality items to delivery customers, I don't buy into that one. They'd horrifically lose all customers for that venue if so and all the ones *here*, all you have to do if call and they comeback, replace, and it's *free* then. That all said, I have one store near me that I won't get any fresh foods from. I believe it is at least partly a local manager issue. The super WalMart nearest me. It used to be good but then they dummied down what the manager could do to ensure best produce and he quit. Since then, I've had so many things mold the next day, I stopped using them at all. No other stores have that issue so it's not something environmental to my place. |
