This Week’s Box Featuring Tomatoes – Week of August 9

August 9, 2021 by Amy Buglione

This Week’s Box Featuring Tomatoes from Green Growers – Week of Aug 9, 2021

This week we have some beautiful Tomatoes from Green Growers.

The tomato is the edible berry of the plant Solanum lycopersicum, commonly known as a tomato plant. There are many varieties of tomatoes that grow well here in Hawaii. A few popular local varieties are the Healani, Komohana Grape, Anahu Bush and UH-Kewalo. These local tomato varieties have a natural resistance to common tomato diseases and are able to grow in many areas around our islands.

Preparation

Perfectly ripe tomatoes are delicious raw – enjoy in salads, make some bruschette or eat them alone. Sprinkle with a little salt, drizzle with balsamic vinegar and enjoy!

Storage

Store unripe tomatoes on your counter at room temp, once theyre ripe, transfer to the fridge..
