greenhouse tomatoes

Climate-controlled red fruit

Greenhouse tomatoes are tomatoes grown in climate-controlled glass or plastic structures rather than outdoors.

The term distinguishes them from field-grown varieties, often implying year-round availability but sometimes suggesting inferior flavor compared to vine-ripened summer tomatoes: The greenhouse tomatoes were pretty but tasteless.
