heritage tomato
Old seed cultivar
A heritage tomato is a tomato variety passed down through generations, typically open-pollinated rather than commercially hybridized.
Heritage tomatoes come in irregular shapes and unusual colors—purple, yellow, striped—and are prized for superior flavor over grocery-store varieties bred for shipping durability.
Also called heirloom tomato: She grows heritage tomatoes in her backyard garden.
