"If you notice that one of your tomatoes is overripening at a quicker rate than the others remove it, as tomatoes release ethylene gas which can speed up the ripening process for all of them," she said.
"Always store your tomatoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, but never in the fridge," said Elizabeth Adams a storage expert from Urban Locker.
When tomatoes are stored with their stem facing upwards, moisture can leave more easily causing your tomatoes to spoil quicker and shrivel up.
"This may seem like a minor detail, but if you want your tomatoes to last longer and cut down on food wastage this little hack can help," Elizabeth explained.
"At room temperature, this small adjustment can help your tomatoes last for several days longer," said Elizabeth.
