Why do you use that tool, rather than something like a highs peed blender, like a NutriBullet. That thing liquefies anything, I don't do juices because they end up being sugar. But if you use the whole fruit or veggie, you get all the nutrients and fiber. Not criticizing, don't take it the wrong way, just trying to maybe learn something new, or something I missed. Pretty neat looking though.

It's too high here, can't get tomatoes to grow.  Used the same method as in town which worked great there at 5300ft; had auto-water system, plants in pots, perfect grow fertilizer, trellis, screen overhead to protect from the intense sun.  Here in ranch country at 6580 - No go.  Have to buy them at farm stands at lower altitudes.  But I make killer salsa!

I use this because it keeps the pulp better rather than the blender i dont want to make juice i am making sauce,also it takes the skin off without boiling water and soaking the fruit to get the skins off.It's just the way i have always done it cooldude

Yep, you're right.
Nothing like homegrown heirloom organic 'maters.  We've been picking since mid-july.  It has been a bad year here though.

So you still get the pulp, but not the skins. Didn't think about the skins! I believe when you boil, you may lose some of the nutrients and maybe change the flavor.  It all makes sense.  You know, often we get lost with technology and with it we loose allot and we don't notice it. But when we look for the best results, it seems that the old school generally is the best way. Thank You!!

Been enjoying them for the last 3 weeks.  DW planted several different verities.   Like the pear type the best, easy to just take one and pop in your mouth.  Though several others are very tasty.

And they are in the back yard (surrounded by 6' fence) so the deer leave them alone.
