Does anyone know if those on-the-vine tomatoes are irradiated?

Question

I have bought those vine tomatoes and they are pretty funky when they rot. They stay too good forever, which makes me think that they are dead:(

I would think that natural rotting would be from the outside in. These develop this weird white foamy fuzz but basically stay intact.

Answer 1

yeah no

rotting can and often does start internally. the white you're seeing is fungus

Answer 2

eewww that doesn't sound pleasant. I don't think producers advertise their products as irradiated, they tend to avoid that. I think the only way to be sure is buy them at farmers markets, organic certified or grow your own.

Answer 3

um... you prolly shouldn't buy them... that doesn't sound to appetizing or healthy
