Tomato "Gardenberry" F1

What varieties of tomatoes are best for freezing?
For freezing, varieties with small and fleshy fruits are best suited. If the choice fell on cherry tomatoes for freezing, then they are frozen whole, after pricking the skin with a needle.
If you want to freeze large tomatoes, this is also quite possible. To do this, blanch the tomatoes in boiling water to remove the skin from them, cut them into small pieces and let the juice and seeds drain. Pieces prepared in this way can be placed in the freezer in freezer bags. Or you can cut the tomatoes into larger pieces, leaving the skin on them. In this case, for freezing, the tomatoes are laid out in one layer and then poured into bags.
Fruits selected for freezing must be ripe, without damage and uniform in size and colour.
If we consider the suitability of tomatoes with different colours for freezing, then red and orange tomatoes are considered the best.
Can all tomatoes be dried?
The optimal form of tomatoes for drying is plum-shaped. The second ideal quality is a good pulp structure.
Such tomatoes for drying are cut in half lengthwise. If it is planned to dry meaty tomatoes, then they should be cut across, and excess moisture should be removed with dry napkins before drying.
Which tomatoes keep well?
It should be noted that not all varieties and hybrids are suitable for storage. There are hybrids specially bred for these purposes, such as La-la-fa, Evpator. The fruits of these hybrids can be stored in the most common conditions (for example, pantry, cellar) for up to 1.5-2 months without loss of consumer qualities. However, these hybrids have a small drawback - their fruits are not very brightly coloured, and the taste of the fruits is average.
Modern hybrids, such as Azov, Gvidon and Aladdin, in addition to excellent storage performance (the same 1.5-2 months), have a rich, dense red color of the fruit and a high sugar content.
It is the high content of sugars and dry matter in general that helps the fruits of these hybrids to be stored for such a long time, in contrast to the hybrids of the first group, the safety of which is due to the slow ripening of the fruits.
Large multi-chamber fruits are well stored - here the role of the "first violin" in storage is played by a large number of cells in the fetus.
Varieties and hybrids of cherry and cocktail tomatoes show themselves excellently during storage - they have good keeping quality due to the high sugar content, dense arrangement of cells and small size.
Pink-fruited tomatoes are prone to cracking due to the very delicate structure of the pulp and thin skin.
