🍅✨ Sunterra Ripe-Picked Tomatoes on the Vine (1.8 kg)
⭐ Product Overview: Premium Canadian Flavor, Perfect for Your Japanese Kitchen
Tired of small, sometimes bland supermarket tomatoes? This large 1.8 kg box of Sunterra Tomatoes on the Vine brings you the superior quality of Canadian greenhouse produce.
Grown year-round in the controlled environment of Alberta, these tomatoes are hand-picked only when perfectly ripe and delivered with the vine attached. This "vine-ripened" method ensures they maintain their fresh, bright aroma and deep, concentrated flavor—a significant step up from standard, early-picked tomatoes.
With 9 large tomatoes per box (approx. 200g each), this bulk size is perfect for home chefs who love to cook, entertain, or simply enjoy genuinely flavorful produce.
🌟 Why This Tomato is Different in Japan
1. Concentrated, Classic Tomato Flavor
Japanese tomatoes often prioritize sweetness and a delicate texture for raw consumption. These Canadian vine tomatoes, however, have a classic, rich balance of acidity and sweetness with firm, meaty flesh. They taste like a true summer tomato!
2. Superior Freshness & Shelf Life
"Vine-to-Table" Quality: Sunterra's practice of "ripe-picking" and quick distribution means you get tomatoes at their flavor peak. Keeping the vine attached helps the fruit retain moisture and nutrients longer.
Size Matters: With 9 large tomatoes per 1.8kg box, you get substantial fruit perfect for slicing and cooking.
3. Smart Storage Tip (Essential in Japan)
Do NOT store these in your refrigerator!
Storage Hack: Keep them at room temperature (15-25°C), away from direct sunlight. Remove them from the cardboard box and store them stem-side down on a tray or counter to help them last longer.
👨🍳 Pro Cooking Hacks: Make the Most of 1.8 kg
Don't let the large quantity intimidate you! These tomatoes are versatile enough for everyday use and large-batch preservation.
Quick Dinner Fixes (Raw & Fresh)
Caprese Salad: Slice thick and layer with mozzarella and basil. The tomato's rich flavor stands up beautifully to cheese and oil.
Classic Bruschetta: Dice small, mix with garlic, olive oil, and salt, and serve on toasted baguette slices.
Long-Term Storage & Flavor Boost (Bulk Use)
Freezer-Ready Sauce: Quickly chop all your remaining tomatoes. Simmer them with garlic and olive oil for 30 minutes. Cool and freeze the sauce in small bags or containers. This is your secret weapon for instant pasta, pizza, or soup base!
Oven-Roasted Semi-Dried Tomatoes: Slice the tomatoes in half, drizzle with oil, salt, and herbs, and slow-roast them in a low oven (around 100°C/212°F) until slightly shriveled. Store in a jar covered with olive oil in the fridge for a flavor-packed topping for everything.
