Smart
tips

Roasting

Roast the tomatoes with olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a richer flavour. Delicious on pasta or bruschetta!

Shelf life

The Ruby Red tomato has an excellent shelf life of around 7 to 10 days when stored in a cool place.

A tomato for 365 days a year

Ruby Red is a tomato for every day. From refreshing gazpacho made with Ruby Red tomatoes to stuffed tomatoes, tomato carpaccio or a fresh tomato dip. Anything is possible with this tomato, as it is available all year round and is perfect for both summer and winter dishes.

Ripen tomatoes faster

Are your tomatoes still too firm to eat? Help them ripen faster by placing an apple next to them for a few hours or up to a day. Apples produce ethylene, which speeds up the ripening process in tomatoes.

Peeling tomatoes

Make a small cross in the skin at the bottom of the tomato. Immerse it in boiling water for about 20 to 30 seconds, then immediately place it in ice-cold water. The skin will loosen and can be removed easily.
