Cooking Tip

Ripe Tomatoes

It is best to use ripe tomatoes within a few days. Refrigerate tomatoes that are beginning to lose their freshness and use them in recipes where they will be cooked.

Cooking Tip

Chives

Chives have a lively biting flavor, similar to onion. If you need to substitute for the chives, use green onions (scallions).
