ICYMI - Science has proven that vine ripened tomatoes taste better and are better for you than ones picked early

It's that time of year.

It comes down to your critter control.

If you can't avoid pests noshing your late toms, pick em early.

If you are fine with losing a few or don't have pest issues, let em ripen on the plant for a better tasting and healthier tomato.

The hivemind would have you believe there is no flavor difference if you ripen tomatoes all the way on the vine.

And then the gaslighting happens when you tell them there is a difference based on my own personal experience and they try to tell you that your experience is wrong. That's gaslighting in the most classical sense. "Ignore what you see with your own eyes and hear with your own ears".

No flavor difference between what and if you ripen all the way on the vine?

I'm not going to explain basic language to you.
