The cold kills the flavor in the tomato. After it’s fully ripe, it can withstand the cold, but not before. When 8 buy them at the store, I don’t refrigerate them. I let them ripen on the counter. Then once ripe, they go into the fridge.
I bought some ‘organic’ bananas the other day and they were horrid for both texture and flavor. Furthermore, they were more expensive than their ordinary counterpart. They didn’t even ripen well on the counter though they appeared to be the perfect ripeness for my taste. They tasted starchy, bland, sticky..nasty. I won’t make that mistake again.
“Organic” is the biggest farce in food. It’s nothing more than yuppie-ism and snobbery, targeted toward people with more money than sense.
