I've discovered long ago that chilling vine ripened tomatoes
permanently destroys their flavor and texture. I went to that link's
web site, none of those pictures are of vine ripened field grown
tomatoes, those are all hydroponics, same as sold at stupidmarkets. I
harvest vine ripened tomatoes each summer and leave them on the
kitchen counter, eventually they will begin to rot but most will keep
well for up to a month, however it's rare I have any for more than a
week except at the very end of the growing season when I pick
everything before a frost comes down. The only vine ripened tomatoes
I refrigerate are those I've sliced and dressed with other veggies to
make salsa and made more than I can eat at one sitting.
