The acid was much higher but so were the sugars, beta-carotene and all the other things that would effect flavor. What I found the most interesting is that the treatment basically made the plants way more efficient at harvesting nutrients from the soil, so in my situation (very good soil, improved for years) it stands to reason the effects could be even more pronounced. I found some 99% acid for $28 (10mg) so I may fiddle with it some if I have time.
