Was just thinking the same, while munching on the fruit we picked up at the local farmer’s market, yesterday.

This is how ALL fruit/veggies - many, that we grew our own - USED to taste.

No preservative spray coating or GMOs, decades ago.

The supermarket tomato is but a red variation of cardboard. Once you've had an heirloom tomato, you won't go back to the supermarket kind.

The best salad for me: heirloom tomato, avocado and basil with a light dusting of salt, pepper and garlic powder. Add a little bit of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Great lunch!
