With modern tomato cultivars that are lower in acid than the older tomatoes,

Older = Heirloom seeds......better flavor....and scoop up the seeds prior to canning,,,,sun dry and store for next year .....or global cooling/ice age (no sunspots)

Some of the newer cultivars are higher in acid content. Just depends on who bred the plant, and what their goal was. Ordering veggies in a commercial kitchen can get downright complicated these days.

But yes, I do the open pollinated seeds myself, and select for the traits that I like. My cantaloupe are ugly, but the flavor is to die for.
