Add A Tomato Saver To The Refrigerator Produce Bin

Nothing like a crisp tomato to add flavor to any meal. The downfall is, if you fail to finish said tomato at once, you have to store it in the refrigerator. The tomato will turn mushy if not used quickly enough, hence you are often left with a soggy tomato of no value (aside from tossing at your pesky neighbors while they’re unaware, but don’t get any ideas). How, then, does one go about keeping a tomato fresh?

Here’s a great place to start. The Tomato Saver by Gourmac looks cute, saves on the plastic bill, and also makes it easier to spot the tomato in the immeasurable void that is known as a refrigerator.

Hey — the Tomato Saver may not change your life, but it looks nice, it works, it makes you look cool (it’s quite chic), and it would make a good gift for someone. Tomatoes sure cost a fortune at the supermarket these days! True?

Other savers to consider: Hutzler Garlic Saver, Hutzler Onion Saver, Yellow, Hutzler 58 Lemon / Lime Saver, Harold Import Company Avo Saver, and Hutzler Pepper Saver, Green.

Just twist the lid on the top of this gadget and you’re in business.

Here’s a quick question to stir the neighborhood. Is the tomato a vegetable or a fruit?

On May 10, 1893, in the Supreme Court case Nix v. Hedden, the court unanimously decided in favor of the defense and found that the tomato was classified as a vegetable, based on the ways in which it is used, and the popular perception to this end. So, in a legal sense, the tomato is a vegetable.

Botanically, a tomato is a fruit.
