heirloom tomatoes
Old-variety garden fruit
Heirloom tomatoes are varieties grown from seeds passed down through generations, typically predating modern industrial agriculture.
Unlike commercial hybrids bred for uniform appearance and long shelf life, heirlooms prioritize flavor and come in irregular shapes and diverse colors—purple, yellow, striped, green when ripe.
Those heirloom tomatoes from the farmers market taste like summer itself.
