Plum cherry tomatoes
Vegetables
Cool & dark
Plum cherry tomatoes get their name from their somewhat pointed shape. They have firm flesh and a sweet, full flavour. They are small, but delicate. A healthy snack and convenient snack! Like the normal tomato, the cherry tomato contains lycopene. Lycopene acts as an antioxidant and may protect against prostate cancer.

Preparation & storage
Storage
Store plum cherry tomatoes in a cool place. Do not store plum cherry tomatoes in the fridge, as this disrupts the post-ripening process. They will keep for about 1 week.
Another reason not to keep them in the fridge, they will lose their flavour.
Tomatoes that have been blanched for about 1 minute can be kept in a well-sealed plastic container in the freezer for up to 12 months, at a minimum of -18ºC. But fresh they are best!
How do I know if plum cherry tomatoes are no longer good? The tomatoes go mouldy, give off a sour smell or become limp. You can quickly recognise this decay by looking, smelling or tasting.
Preparation
Plum cherry tomatoes hardly need any preparation. Eat them out of hand or cut them in half. Just wash them and remove the crown. You can pick it off easily.
