A word of warning: do not squeeze the tomato!
That will only damage it and cause it to break down, plus, it's not an especially good indicator of quality.
A better indicator of quality, is to look for a tomato that feels heavy for its size.
Look out for tomatoes with smooth taut, unwrinkled skins.
Look out for any yellow or green patches not he tomato, which could be indicators of low quality — unless, of course, you’re looking at heirlooms tomatoes, in which case: taste the rainbow!
Look out for a sweet smell from the tomatoes, which is a great sign iff a good tomato.
I beg of you: please keep your tomatoes OUT OF THE FRIDGE! Unless, of course, you prefer your tomatoes to be mealy.
