My most recent purchase at the grocery store. Clearly marked hot house grown

Still no flavor. If you know of a brand that has flavor let me know

Onion and tomato is one of my favorite sandwiches. Another week before farm fresh come in

Modern breeders long gave priority to qualities like appearance, uniform ripening, and shelf life instead of flavor. In addition, to be fair to your point, some of the soil mixes or other growth media may lack micronutrients that contribute to flavor, or the artificial lighting may lack spectra that help develop flavor.
