you can do it, but they don't thaw all that well (and like a previous poster said, they tend to lose flavor). also, they take up a ton of room in the freezer

Sounds horrible. The wook dude is right. Can them, it's not very smart to freeze any produce, I think it has to do with damaging cell walls and turns everything mushy.

Guys. I found a solution to my problem.
Tomato sandwiches and making soup.

Does that really matter that much if you end up making sauce or something from them afterwards though? You're not going to want to put mushy thawed tomatoes in a salad, but for cooking why should it matter?
I've never frozen whole tomatoes but I've made sauce and froze that, worked out fine. No complaints with the flavor.

Cooking first then freezing isn't as bad. Still dulls the flavor for more discerning palates.

Never frozen a tomato.
I believe some tomatoes accidentaly became frozen in the fridge. I think when they thawed out, they were all limp like a deflated ballon. They were cherry tomatoes, if i remember correctly.
Try it, might work out

I read tomatoes shouldn't even be cooled in the fridge as they lose their flavour, that is, if they had flavour in the first place.

Heirlooms have tons of good flavor. Brandywine is my favorite, I just put a touch of salt and pepper on a slice if I put it on a sandwich.

A lot of tomatoes here come from Dutch greenhouses, grown under lights.
They taste like red water.
I don't go for them any more.
I sometimes get decent Roma tomatoes.

Sounds super gross Patlal.
But apparently not uncommon.

I just like to freeze them becouse I can get all my crops into a few big bags and store them indefinitely in the freezer works great for sauce.
I pretty much just use them for sauce too so even if they lose some flavor it is not really noticeable in a rich sauce full of other delicious stuff.

Generally pasta or pizza sauce but sometimes I do more experimental bbq hybrid type things. Been meaning to try making some blended salsa too...
