Question

Should I de-seed tomatoes for pico de gallo? I've heard it saves it from being mushy.?

Answer 1

it is not needed just chop them up it will be fine

Answer 2

Yes it's true. But it's no big deal if you don't want too. I make Pico de Gallo all the time and sometimes I de- seed them nd sometimes not.

Answer 3

You can, but we never do.  

I think it really depends upon what type of tomato you're using.  We use Roma's which are less "seedy" and a bit firmer.  If you're using Beefsteak tomatoes, you may want to seed at least 1/2 of them.

All it's going to do is make the salsa wetter; it won't change the texture at all otherwise.

Answer 4

I think u should de-seed it will get watery not mushy.

Answer 5

De seed, its not the mushiness, it keeps the sauce from being watery. Try and get good ripe pomodoris, then you can avoid half the battle.
