Is it possible to keep fresh a tomato that has already been sliced? Yes! If you follow the next steps, you will see that such a tomato can be consumed after 24 hours. But remember, if you want the tomato to retain its flavor and texture, you shouldn't put it in the refrigerator ...

Steps

1. 1 Cover only the cut side of the tomato. Do not cover the whole tomato. Use kitchen foil or plastic wrap to cover.
2. 2 Place the tomato, cut side down, on a flat dish.
3. 3 And leave it aside on the kitchen counter. You may want to put the tomato in the refrigerator, but this will destroy the flavoring enzymes and give the tomato a crumbly texture.
4. 4 Try to eat the tomato within 24 hours. If it's too hot in your kitchen, it's best to eat the tomato with your next meal. You should also cover the tomato to protect it from flies or other insects.

Tips

• Always cut the tomato with a clean knife so that no bacteria can get on it.
