Bought unripe tomatoes? Buy apples too: a simple way to ripen tomatoes

It often happens that you didn’t notice, and a cunning seller in a store or at the market immediately gave you a couple of kilograms of not fully ripe tomatoes.

You shouldn't put them in a salad - you'll only ruin the final taste of the dish.

Instead, it's worth heading back to the counters - this time with fruit - and buying some apples here.

Yes, yes, the most ordinary apples will help to significantly speed up the ripening time of tomatoes.

All you need to do is place the ripe fruit in the same container where you store green tomatoes.

The resulting composition should be removed, as they say, out of sight. One condition: the place must be dry.

All that remains is to be patient and wait.

Thanks to ethylene (a gas released by ripe fruits), tomatoes will “come to condition” within a few days, and then they can be used to prepare any dish.
