There’s Nothing Like a Homegrown Tomato

Anyone who grows their own #summer #produce can attest to the fact that it tastes better than the store-bought alternative. But perhaps there is no better example than the #tomato. “Most of us have been betrayed by the uniformly round, bright red off-season supermarket tomatoes that give way to a mealy interior with the softest whisper of flavor,” says Food52. Bred for high yields, disease resistance and travel, supermarket tomatoes pale in comparison to homegrown or heirloom tomatoes. “Ripe and locally grown summer tomatoes are bursting with flavor, sweetness and juiciness that can’t be replicated at any other time of year.” #SummerProduce
