Greenhouse tomatoes Ontario greenhouse tQ,matoe8 are vine -ripened and full of flavor. They are grown in in- sulated 'greenhouses that afire close to local markets, This. is an advantage for the consumer. The tomatoes she buys dp not have to be picked when still firm and green to withstand long transpor- tation. Tomatoes which ripen natural- ly on the vine develop more flavor. Most flavor develops in the last four to five days of ripen- ing. Homegrown tomatoes, picked at a stage which allows them to reach the store at their . peak of perfection, 'contain this full flavor. Tomatoes picked and „shipped when green will not. Do not refrigerate your toma- toes. Temperatures below 55 de- grees will cause loss of flavor,and a watery mushy tomato as cells are injured and break down. If further ripening is necessary, keep tomatoes at room tempera- ture and out of direct sunlight. SAL SAVE 20% to 50% 0.111.
