GMO tomatoes, just what we need. /sarc

Heirloom tomatoes are the way to go.

Yep. My local Safeway has a contract with a local hothouse grower who raises heirlooms. It’s what tomatoes were like before there were supermarkets. They are the only tomatoes that I’ll eat.

Heirloom and indeterminate. If you do t know what indeterminate has to do with tomatoes, well you need to learn.
Try a Porter variety, full of flavor.
Another is “Mortgage Lifter”. Yes, an actual type of tomatoe.
This article could also be about California fruit. Great color and shape but no flavor. My first trip to CA showed some beautiful fruit at the roadside stands. Apricots and peaches that tasted like cardboard.
Just like the ones in the grocery store.
