Grape tomatoes are best stored at room temperature if you plan to use them within a few days, as this helps retain their flavor and texture. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent spoilage. For longer storage, refrigerate them in a breathable container; however, be aware that refrigeration may slightly diminish their flavor. Do not wash them until just before use to prevent mold growth. If you have a large quantity, consider freezing them whole for use in cooked dishes; freezing will alter the texture, making them less suitable for salads.
