Sorry to tell you tomatoes are flavourless in Europe as well.
- watwut 5y agoYep. You have to grow own tomatoes to have good ones. Which is something only few people are willing and have option to do.
- hoseja 5y agoExcept the available seeds are probably decreasing in quality as well.
- bserge 5y agoIs there a market for good tasting tomato seeds? :D It's actually fascinating - I remember my grandmother scooping out the seeds out of vegetables and drying them, to be used next year. The villagers also traded them as apparently they had different varieties.

- titzer 5y agoI lived almost 7 years in Germany, and the average tomato at a supermarket was lightyears beyond the US. Then farmers markets are even better.

- LAC-Tech 5y agoI am willing to participate in a blind taste test to resolve this issue.
- bserge 5y agoFunny enough, the further east you go, the better they taste. But tbf, only for a few months when the many small farmers grow them outdoors and sell them for unbelievably cheap. Rest of the time it's greenhouse tomatoes like everyone else.
