Properly dried tomatoes are very low in moisture content and freezing simply isn't necessary.

They don't become "tough" from drying; there's nothing tastier than a dried tomato and fresh basil with a slice of mozzarella melted and served on a whole wheat Ritz cracker :wink:

They should be stored in an airtight container just as you would any dried fruit, like plums or raisins.

Adding olive, sesame or any other quality vegetable oil to dried tomatoes will draw out the concentrated flavor quite nicely.
