Good-quality tomatoes will be firm, smooth-skinned and be at least pink in color. Tomatoes that are partially green will ripen if left at room temperature.

Avoid product that is too soft, wrinkled or that has broken skin. Tomatoes with a green blush will ripen, but avoid product with blotchy green or brown areas.

Tomatoes are available year-round from California, Mexico and Florida. Washington tomatoes are available during August and September.
