TRUE
Tomatoes are a green fruit. Fried green tomatoes are a food dish found in the Southern U.S., made from unripe tomatoes.
Tomatoes are transported while unripe to prevent damage during handling and shipping. Unripe tomatoes are firmer and less susceptible to bruising, which helps maintain their quality during transit. Additionally, they can ripen naturally after reaching their destination, allowing for better control over their ripeness and shelf life. This practice also helps reduce spoilage and waste in the supply chain.
The color change in tomatoes is due to the production of different pigments as they ripen. Green tomatoes are unripe, white or yellow tomatoes are in the early stages of ripening, and red tomatoes are fully ripe. This color change is influenced by the breakdown of chlorophyll and the formation of carotenoids and anthocyanins.
The color change in unripe tomatoes and mangoes is due to the breakdown of chlorophyll, a green pigment, and the production of carotenoids, red-orange pigments. As the fruit ripens, the levels of carotenoids increase, causing the color change from green to red. This process signifies the development of sweetness and readiness for consumption in the fruit.
Well, if you keep them in sunlight after you pick them, they will start to ripen. But, I'm not sure about store bought. I would just keep store bought in the fridge. Hope this helped.
"Normally" tomatoes soften as they ripen, so they are usually picked green and shipped in that unripe state so they will stay firm. Just before delivery to the consumer these tomatoes are forced to ripen by gassing with the plant hormone ethylene gas. The consumer gets firm, ripe tomatoes (but less than fully sweet). These tomatoes will soften. Using genetic engineering you can delete or disable the gene for the enzyme that causes the tomatoes to soften as they ripen, so they can be allowed to fully ripen on the vine (and become fully sweet) before they are picked and shipped. The consumer gets firm, ripe, and sweet tomatoes. These tomatoes will remain firm.
