that's awesome. hope you enjoy. I'm jelly. I want to grow my own tomatoes. The ones from stores have a weird metallic taste to me. Maybe the pesticides? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Depending on what you grow, fresh tomatoes that are picked ripe can have a somewhat strong acidic taste. I've also found that some kinds of fresh tomatoes make my tongue kind of tingle. Other species of tomatoes, or that kind of tomato cooked, have no impact on me.
