May is the month for Canadian hothouse tomatoes. Because these tomatoes have been grown under ideal conditions and have not been picked until the ripening has started, their flavor is fuller than the imported varieties. Handle the tomatoes you pick carefully. Fully ripened ones can be refrigerated while those that are not fully ripened should be left at room temperature until the color has deepened. Canadian hothouse cucumbers will also be on the market this month. Cucumbers keep best unwrapped in the refrigerator because they will develop soft spots if they are placed in a plastic bag or wrap. Both tomatoes and cucumbers are delicious by themselves or combined in a favorite salad. Be sure you pick up some of each next time you're shopping and remember to buy Canadian produced when it is available.
