well i typically do pick it in the later afternoon like when the temps are 85-90. i'll try picking at 5 am before going to work.
the hydro cooling, never heard of this. could try that.
my ichiban, a black or very dark purple, is never bitter. i was peeling the skin but sometimes left it on. from what i read the older the seeds (and larger/darker) the more likely the fruit is to be bitter. never tried a white, just grew ichiban and just last year.
but my question was - do different varieties taste different enough to try something other than ichiban?
