travis, that sure would be an interesting subject for someone to jump in... Many dark green vegetables have a rich flavor, that might indeed come from the amount of chlorophyll.
You must of missed what I wrote in my last post. I said the tomatoes that I did not care for came from the same group on the gf allele list. When I say I didn't care for them I mean I did not like the flavor, and I will not be growing them again. So it has to contribute at least partially to taste. I did not know they came from the same grouping until after growing them so the chart had no influence over my perceptions.
