    The enamel coating is too prevent the tomatoes acid from eating away at the aluminum. It’s preserving the can, more than the tomatoes.

    Wow, the first sentence is a very bold claim, considering wild tomatoes are the size of small berries, originally from an entirely different country, let alone continent. Coyote may be a little but closer to the first breeder tomato, and even that is a pretty wild claim.

      @@volgg Would we be surprised? I don't think the average person knows or cares about the native ranges of any edible or ornamental plants, given the tremendous journeys plants have taken over the millennia, seeds transported far and wide by humans, animals, and the elements. That being said, most people here seem to know that tomatoes are native to the Americas, but with more than 10,000 varieties of tomato now cultivated across the globe, there's a lot more to the story than saying, "that was originally from over there." The same could be said for virtually every edible plant.

      As nutrient dense compost as you can find of which is recommended you add some dead bugs, some egg shells ground up and some chopped banana peels to supercharge the soil with some nitrates oxygen and lots of calcium now true San marzano' grow in the volcanic Ash of Mount vesuvius so replicating that requires a great deal of mineral enrichment.
      Oh and as always grow in season and not outside of the season.

      Well, don't get hung up on it... San Marzano is a landrace variety, meaning that it has evolved due to the conditions present in that specific area; just as he says, the volcanic soil, the air, the water, etc. So, you can certainly grow them in your yard, but they will not be the same. They will not look the same or taste the same or perform the same. This is why most seed companies don't sell landrace seeds: you don't know what you'll end up with.
