I don’t know if it’s because of me growing up and my tastes changing, but I could swear fruits from the grocery store when I was a kid were nowhere near as sweet as they are now. Some of the fruits I’ve eaten recently are genuinely sweeter than soda because the soda tastes bitter after eating the fruit.
Are they selectively breeding/GMOing fruits to produce more sugar? Is that bad? I feel like that’s a bad thing but don’t actually know.
I did notice something similar. Presumably, selective breeding at work. I read that brussel sprouts used to taste different not too long ago - the flavor and texture changed due to selective breeding. It wouldn’t surprise me if something similar is happening with fruits.
That being said, whatever is going on, it’s definitely not happening with strawberries. Still sour as fuck.
Good. Let the hate for strawberries flow through you.
(More for me.)
