I have heard that it actully retains its flavor better when not refrigerated because the cold alters the tomato chemistry in some way. One reason not to trefrigerate tomatoes even f they do last longer. Better to just eat them when ripe but, admittedly, when mine are ripe and about to go too ripe/spoil, I tend to refrigerate them. Think I saw that in a Burt Wolf show on PBS.Gregnoreply@blogger.com
