• Wipe away any dirt or debris with a paper towel.
• Place tomatoes upside-down on a plate—separate from other fruits and vegetables.
• Store in a cool place out of direct sunlight for up to five days.

Why store them this way? The reason you don't wash tomatoes is that any moisture on a ripe tomato can cause rot. If you want to wash them with water, you can do so right before you use them.

Tomatoes should be stem-side down for storage because their "shoulders" are the strongest part of the tomato and less susceptible to bruising. To keep them fresh, don't let them get too close to other fruits and vegetables, which may emit ethylene gas that speeds up the ripening process.

Lastly, keep them in the shade if you can. Perfectly ripe tomatoes sitting in the sun will start to rot pretty quickly. However, if you have unripe tomatoes, letting them sit in the sun or sticking them in a paper bag with a banana for a couple of days—to soak up the ethylene it emits—are good ways to ripen them.
