1. Most raw tomatoes are bad, esp. outside of peak season. 2. Top 10% are an S tier food. 3. Raw to cooked transformation might be GOAT.

Raw to canned transformation is goated too. What air conditioning did for Singapore canning did for tomato sauce. https://www.gustiamo.com/dop-san-marzano-tomatoes-by-danicoop-2/

tomato season is just about wrapped up here, we are well past peak flavor season. sometime we can stretch the harvest til Halloween, not going to happen this year. and as we close the door we wait 'til next July. I did a workshop a decade back in the winter and we did some taste testing and brixed(aka measured the solids) of tomatoes available at the local grocery store. Most were sub 5, though a few cherries were closer to 10, and tasted pretty solid. Decided you can find a decent cherry tomato off season if you look for soil grown greenhouse production from mexico, those tomatoes for the workshop were probably the only tomatoes I've ever purchased off season in 20+ years. We just enjoy them in season.

Most people have never eaten a good fresh tomato and have no idea what an S-tier tomato tastes like Moved from Florida to NJ after college and met a guy who told me he used to eat NJ tomatoes like they were apples and I thought he was crazy. Now I get it.

I used to think I hated raw tomatoes until I realized I just hated tomatoes that are available at the supermarket Big epiphany, applies to some other foods too (cucumbers)

We don’t agree on much, Dan, but on this I’m 100% with you. Tomatoes are disgusting 90% of the time. Texture: -10/10 Flavor: 1/10 Aftertaste: -10/10 Pasta sauce: 10/10 Mexican salsa: 10/10

1. Most raw tomatoes in the US are bad (I don’t know why I am high-roading you on this, Canada is also pretty bad) In Europe it feels like tomatoes are actually good by default and a bad tomato is an exception.
