How to store tamarillo (tree tomato)? Should they be refrigerated or can they be kept at room temperature? Can they be frozen to last longer?
In this guide, we explain the best ways to store tree tomatoes (tamarillo) to prevent them from spoiling too quickly.
Tamarillo should not be kept at room temperature because it spoils quickly, unlike common tomatoes that can be left out to ripen.
Therefore, you should refrigerate tamarillo as soon as you bring it home from the market. Before storing, wash it in a bowl with one liter of water and one tablespoon of food-grade bleach. Let it soak for 15 minutes, rinse well, and let it dry. If necessary, use paper towels to dry it thoroughly.
Place the tree tomatoes in a plastic bag and store them in the refrigerator, where they will last up to 10 days without spoiling, as long as the temperature remains stable.
