I suspect it depends on how much sun they got? I have frequently
holidayed in Portugal, where most people deliberately pick their
tomatoes still green for salads - and in fact, they are supremely sweet
and delicious. By the time they get red, they are best used for
cooking or sauces.


That's very interesting. Perhaps I'll try it, thanks.
