Curious too
I like tomatoes, but don't know what makes a tomato good or bad
Store-bought tomatoes are designed to ripen at exactly the same time, get picked early, be sturdy during transit to the produce store and store for a longer time on store shelves.
Heirloom tomatoes are selected to taste good when grown in your region.
No tomato can do it all, so when selecting for store bought tomato characteristics, flavor gets lost in the shuffle.
I'm not a tomato snob. All tomatoes are good tomatoes. A fancy tomato to me is pretty much anything you can't regularly get in any old grocery store. Go into any fancy supermarket or natural grocery store and get any tomato that looks more interesting than your average tomato. I'll get excited about it.
Try some kumamoto tomatoes and I think you'll really like them. They have a more tangy taste, almost like they're pre-salted.
