Dear Desert Glory, I know nothing about your business practices, or the way you fertilize/treat/process your produce. In fact, I can only assume — from the«Product of Mexico» label, «Wash Before Eating» precaution and lack of conspicuous ORGANIC labeling — that your Nature Sweet CHERUBS cherry tomatoes are doused in chemical from seed to shipping. Yet, for some reason — even at the astronomical price of $ 6 for 10.5oz — I cannot stop eating them. They are, as your package proudly purports, «Sweet Snacking Tomatoes.» Sincerely, LK, $ 12-a-week-CHERUB-addict P. S. — Why no refrigeration? That seems like an odd request.
