Bananas are the same way, picked green so they never develop their sugars.
My sister grows tomatoes for a Farmers Market. The variety she grows are very firm, good looking and tasteless. They were bred to stay tougher and smash less for shipment. They are red and look good but that is all. She gave me some seeds and even grown in the garden are tasteless.
I won’t advertise for a certain brand but we have experimented with several varieties and have found some with great flavor. Never use Romas for tomato sauce. They are tasteless.
Go to a country where they pick and sell fresh pineapple. WOW.

I have found that I can buy organic bananas at the grocery store and they are much more like the flavor of bananas when I grew up. Maybe tomatoes will do the same thing, but there is nothing as good as a homegrown tomato fresh from the garden.
