Tomatoes are good to eat both in salads, on sandwiches, or in a juicy tomato sauce. But unfortunately they tend to only stay fresh for a few days.
When you have bought your tomatoes home, you should not wait too long before eating them. Otherwise, they risk becoming mushy and can taste rotten if you’re unlucky.

This way you keep the tomatoes fresh longer
But there is actually a trick that keeps tomatoes fresh and edible for longer.
The trick is to store the tomatoes “upside down”. Where the tomatoes grew and the twig sat, a small green eye forms. If you place this side down, the tomatoes will stay fresh longer, writes, among other things Huffington Post.

Therefore, you should store your tomatoes upside down
The reason is that the top of the tomato rots last. If you have the green eye down, the tomatoes stay juicier and edible longer.
According to a study by Cook’s Illustrated, which Everyone’s taken into account, you can see how tomatoes that are stored with the green eye upwards lose up to seven percent of liquid after three days. On the other hand, if you have the tomatoes upside down, they only lose one to two percent of liquid in the same time.
