    It’s the texture.

    The taste is distinct, but not really bad. I don’t mind the mild flavor left over in a sandwich that had a tomato slice.

    But I can’t stand the texture of a tomato. Not sure exactly why, but even a small chunk in soup or salsa makes me gag. I blend salsa up so it’s consistent.

    And onions are both for me. A tiny piece of onion will ruin the entire burrito. From the weird crunch to the taste that lingers even after I down a few chips and half my drink.

    I go through onion powder fairly quick though, I add a little bit to a lot of my dishes.

      It’s unfortunate. My husband also hates tomatoes…but loves what they become. So it’s all about the texture of a raw tomato for him as well!
