>>1857329>from what I've heard, they will continue to ripen for several days once picked.yes that's true, they will keep ripening for a couple days, but that's about it. If they're not close to the point of ripening when picked, they won't get ripe at home.
Even if they do continue to ripen a bit more, the flavor also isn't the same as ripened on the tree.
Compare that with apples or bananas, which you can pick months before sale and store all season, then ripen when you want to sell them.
