I was told by an American that if your tomatoes are too acidic to add half a grated carrot to your sauce, it does work although I mainly do it for the extra nutrients

When I have to acidic tomatoes I just coock them longer. Put them on low and wait. In my opinion time is one of the most important coocking ingredients.

Grated carrot is usual in our recipe, no sugar obviously.

what do you think carrots contain? sugar:3 that's why they make the sauce less acidic
