Harvest tomatoes when they reach their full orange colour with red and yellow stripes . For best flavour, allow them to ripen directly on the vine. If necessary, they can be picked when they start to change colour and left to ripen at 22C off the vine.
After harvesting, store them at room temperature , away from direct sunlight. Avoid refrigeration, as this alters their texture and taste. To extend their shelf life, place them in a cool place (12-21C) with a relative humidity of 95% . A good method is to place them stem side down on a tray , without them touching, to avoid premature deterioration.
