Tips & Tricks
Skip the Fridge
Tomatoes keep best when stored at room temperature and out of direct sunlight. They’ll store between five days to two weeks but are always best when eaten quickly.
Pepper Selection
At NatureSweet, we only pick peppers at their best, meaning firm, brightly colored peppers with tight skin that are heavy for their size. No dull, shriveled or pitted peppers allowed.
Traceability
Look for the Food ID QR code underneath your packaging to trace your tomatoes right back to the greenhouse that grew and nurtured them.
Recycle
Please recycle our packaging to give it a second (or third) life. All of our snacking tomato packages are sustainably made of 100% recycled Polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
Slicing Small Tomatoes
Lay your tomatoes beneath a flat plate, tray, or lid to easily slice a bunch horizontally at once.
Rinse in Pack
Give your tomatoes a quick rinse before slicing or eating. Many of our packages have small holes to act as a built-in colander for easy rinses in cool running water. Simply pour out the tomatoes when finished.
Did You Know?
Amazingly, cucumbers are almost completely composed of water, at 95%! Just one cup of cucumbers equals one glass of water.
