I used to think that tomatoes needed to fully ripen on the vine to develop full flavor. I don't think that is true. I have read several university extension publications where test were done to check this "urban legend". The results, and my opinion (we've grown lots of tomatoes for lots of years) is that there is NO DIFFERENCE in flavor or sweetness if left to ripen fully. The tomato needs to have the color like the one you're showing in this video, and they will ripen fully on the kitchen counter. The reason is that at some point, the tomato quits obtaining nutrients from the plant at some point. It would be great if you can research this topic and make a video on your findings! Mahalo nui!

I only read a few things from some universities. I know the college where I went to school had a great agricultural department. Which I've used some of their information back during covid when I was learning to do alot of gardening. I've been finding we've been pulling them when they start to turn orange and more focus goes to the other part of the tomato plant once we pull them. You are absolutely correct that the tomatoes can ripen right in the kitchen. If you want to accelerate it, I remember the brown cardboard box or brown bags. However, I don't like them to ripen too fast if I have a surplus or if I'm waiting to schedule a day to do some canning. Hopefully this winter I can work on some of the research side and do some videos on it.

@KaiDragonmediahomelife2 күн бұрын
You are welcome. It's something I've been wanting to get this one out. We riped them in a cardboard box, and darkness. We kept most of ours in the garage. Brought them in when it gets too hot. My grandma used to put them in brown paper bags to ripen them faster.
