Storage Guidelines

Commercial storage guidance for whole tomatoes; temperature depends on actual maturity, not variety colour. Storage life depends on initial quality, maturity, cultivar and handling; this is not a household shelf-life guarantee.

Temperature

13-21°C for mature-green fruit; 10°C for ripe fruit

Humidity

90-95%

Packaging

Cartons, containers, or bags to maintain high humidity and protect from damage

Mature-green tomatoes need warmer conditions to ripen. Ripe fruit can be held at 10°C without visible chilling injury, but flavour and aroma can be reduced.
