Ripened in a sentence as an adjective

I prefer more sour and tart fruit, so I tend to prefer less ripened fruit.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain.

But there's no better or worse here, and there's absolutely no "peach ripened by a tree" or "how it's supposed to be". That's complete and utter nonsense.

I have ripened Kru fruit after only 6 weeks hanging time. However, my first bunch of Saba fruit required 11 months on the tree before ripening.

It's the visual equivalent of a peach ripened by the tree, or a tomato baked in sunshine. Some lost part of you recognises that this is how it's supposed to be.

What many people don't realise is that your "natural" fruits have been artificially ripened. There are food safety processes too such as washing and spraying with fungicide.

The taste of vine ripened tomatoes is incomparable to the 'industrial' tomatoes that are picked when they are still green. They are picked green so that they are firmer for transport and they ripe just enough to be red in the store.

Most conventional tomatoes are picked from the vine early and are then ripened through the application of ethylene. This produces a less flavorful tomato.

This turns the tomatoes red, but because it happens more quickly the sugars in the tomatoes don't have as much time to fully develop which is the main reason home-grown and ripened tomatoes can taste better. However, as I explained this is still just an accelerated version of a natural process.

That's unfortunate because vine-ripened tomatoes are deliciously sweet and tart--there is no confusion about whether it is a fruit or vegetable.

Organic vegetables aren't chemically ripened ALL vegetables without exception ripen because of chemical reactions. I presume you mean that the chemicals that cause ripening in some vegetables weren't put in the vegetables by human agency, but that may not make a difference if they are the same chemicals in either case.

Not an organic, artisanal, locally-grown tomato specially treated by elves for the most wonderfully tomato-y taste you'll ever get, just a regular tomato grown with all the pesticides and artificial fertilizers Monsanto can provide, then ripened artificially with ethylene gas and shipped in cold storage.
