White inside

cecilsgarden1958 · September 15, 2012

What is it that cause lots of white imperfection inside a tomato. Usually a tomato is consistantly red, pink, yellow etc inside when slliced, but this year I got quite a few that had white flecks and lines like along the perimeter and also on the walls that separate the seed areas. It didn't ruin the flavor, but seems to me it was harder then the plain red areas of other tomatoes. I've looked through all my books and couldn't ID the problem (if it is a problem). People I know at work have ask me before and I told them maybe a mineral problem, but now I see what they meant, so I don't know know.
