<human>:  What is the best way to store tomatoes?
<bot>: The best way to store tomatoes is to keep them at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Store them in a single layer in a cool, dry location, such as a pantry or cupboard, as tomatoes can become crushed and bruised if stored on top of each other. If the tomatoes are very ripe, refrigerate them until you are ready to use them.
