Very interesting. I always refrigerate them these days, as I only get to
the supermarket about once every two weeks, and they go bad too quickly
if I leave them out. I have always felt guilty about it, but now not so
much.

When I've lived in areas where I could get a lot of very ripe locally
grown tomatoes, I would refrigerate a few for use while fresh, and then
just put the rest into the freezer, whole, for use in sauces and such.
