Sandy, that theory makes sense. I confess I stopped buying tomatoes at the grocery store when I discovered the difference... maybe 40 years ago? If I'm making something that requires tomatoes out of season, I'd rather use canned products. It's just a thing with me. I'm sure there are tasty mators to be found if one looks hard enough.
Connie, great articles, and so true. I've experimented with different varieties the last two seasons and had plenty of tomatoes that have been mainly taste failures. Next year I'm going back to some tried & true.
