ou should always buy red and ripe yet firm and smooth tomatoes. While you might buy raw tomatoes for certain subzis and salads, don’t ever think of buying raw tomatoes and letting them ripen in your larder. Tomatoes get their full flavour only when they ripen on the vine. So, try and buy ripe or almost ripe tomatoes. Never buy damaged tomatoes as fungus might develop on it and spoil the whole lot. Remember to handle your tomatoes with care, and place them on top of your shopping bag so they do not get squashed.
