I did not know that. But it's been awhile since I've read much on
gardening. I just garden my way out back. I haven't had much time to
read about gardening. Too busy reading other stuff and catching up on
books now that I am out of school.

www.eou.edu has a great agricultural program. Wish they'd get some
organic classes going. They also have Distance Education and that's
how I graduated with a BS while living in Calif. and Alabama when the
school is in Oregon.

I don't think that the acid content of the foods has very much to
do with it.

As an addendum, there's really no such thing as "low acid" tomatoes. USDA
studies have found that tomatoes of different colors, sizes, etc. are all of
(roughly) the same acidity. Differences in "bite" come from other compounds
and sugars in the fruit.
