New Tomato Sweeter Than A Peach

[Mark Thorson]

But do people really want the Sugardrop tomato?

That sounds like a really sweet tomato. I guess I'll
have to try it to find out whether it's something I
could like. I think tomatoes are already sweet enough.

Salted and dried might be interesting. Salted, dried
plums are popular as a snack in Hawaii and Asia.

It might depend on if one views a tomato as a fruit or vegetable. :-) It
sounds like they really want this variety to compete with grapes and
blueberries as a snack item.

I like tomatoes that have a balanced flavor, tipping toward the
acidic. So, other than seeing how awful these were, U'd have no
interest.

Sounds interesting. As a gardener, I would be interested in trying to grow
them. I probably won't be able to access the seeds. Sweetness doesn't tell
the whole story. I'd have to eat some to decide if they had a place in my
life or not.

A local evil family owned nursery specializes in tomatoes so there is
lots to pick from in spring. I buy a few varieties I have never heard of
just to try them. One plant last year produced fruit (that looked very
similar to the photo) that was extremely sweet. It didn't even taste
like a tomato and I wouldn't plant it again.

I don't like supersweet corn, supersweet tomatoes, etc. The white
peaches and nectarines and cranberries just taste like sugar to me. I
think something about the acids makes the taste of the fruit.
