Sweet Tooth asked:

I notice that the hydroponic tomatoes in my market look like they are a lot better quality than the others- even the organic. In the Northeast US you almost never find red ripe tomatoes unless you go to a farmer’s market. The hydroponics are always nice and red- the rest- hard and orange. But I wonder if they are GMO? And if they aren’t GMO and not grown with pesticides, it’s the next best thing to organic, right? Maybe even better because you can actually taste them.

Jack asked:

Some say Hydroponic grown vegetables are the same as usual conventionally grown vegetables. Or is something missing. Or can Produce grown through Hydroponics without soil be differentiated from Produce grown in soil.
