Ingredients



Directions

  1. Gather various varieties of fresh unripened “green” Tomatoes (harvested within 24 hours or less) from your land or a local farm/garden. [1]

  2. Place the “green” Tomatoes in the bottom of an organic Cotton or industrial Hemp bag, if you have one. If not, then place them in another type of cloth bag. Be sure to keep the bag out of direct Sunlight and keep moisture out of the bag.

  3. Allow the “green” Tomatoes to ripen (ripe Tomatoes may be purplish, reddish, orangish, blackish, etc. depending on the Tomato variety). Check on the Tomatoes daily to determine the desired ripeness and tenderness.

  4. Remove the ripe Tomatoes from the bag.

  5. Use the ripe Tomatoes in your favorite recipes.

[1] Ideally, you should use biodynamic, non-GMO, naturally grown, organic, and/or pesticide-free heirloom Tomatoes to avoid the harmful effects of pesticides and the genetic manipulation of organisms. Visit https://www.ecoccs.com/recipes-tips.html to get more information about those terms and for farm/garden tips. Ideally, you should harvest the Tomatoes when they are dry to avoid an uncontrolled fermentation process taking place in the bag. If the Tomatoes are not already dry, you may want to pat them dry with an organic Cotton or industrial Hemp cloth. Also, you should clean your Tomatoes, as needed, before beginning the drying process.
