Neither fruits nor vegetables taste as good as they used to. For example, I bought a little kiwi a few days ago, when I just bought it was very hard, thinking of putting it, let it mature naturally, the result is soft after the direct break, some inside or hollow. If the fruit is only an example, then the tomato is the same, the former tomato is very full, the taste is sweet and sour and juicy, and now the tomato has no juice.
Why don't tomatoes taste like they used to?
The varieties are different.
Now the common varieties of tomatoes on the market, mostly hybrid varieties, through breeding improvement, with high yield, transport resistance, disease resistance and other advantages, but in terms of taste is often not as good as the traditional varieties. Traditional varieties of tomatoes usually have smaller fruits, thicker meat and more intense flavor.
Different planting methods.
Nowadays, most tomatoes are grown in greenhouses, and a lot of fertilizers and pesticides are used in the planting process, which also affects the taste of tomatoes. Traditionally grown in the open, tomatoes are more natural and taste better.
Harvesting time varies.
In order to facilitate transportation and sales, tomatoes are often picked before they are fully ripe, which will lead to the full accumulation of flavor substances in tomatoes. Traditional tomatoes are mostly picked after they are fully ripe, so as to ensure the taste of the tomatoes.
In addition, personal tastes will vary. As people get older, their taste buds change and they have preferences for food. As a result, some people may feel that tomatoes today do not taste as they did when they were children, while others may not feel that there is a significant difference.
