The mischievous culprit is a gene mutation discovered accidentally around 70 years ago, and quickly latched onto by tomato breeders; in fact, now the mutation has been deliberately bred into nearly all modern tomatoes. Why? It makes them a uniform and seductive deep scarlet red when ripe. Unfortunately for tomato-lovers, as reported in a paper published in the journal, Science, the red-making mutation deactivates an important gene responsible for producing the sugar and aromas that are essential for a fragrant and flavorful tomato. Fortunately, not all tomatoes have gone that route..........in some instances they have bred cherry tomatoes so that they grow bigger than normal but still retain their sweetness and flavor. In the winter, I get my tomatoes from Costco which sells Compari tomatoes: en.wikipedia.org In the summer, I grow my own: Jaune Flamme, Gardener's Delight and Sungold.
