    Store-bought tomatoes are designed to ripen at exactly the same time, get picked early, be sturdy during transit to the produce store and store for a longer time on store shelves.

    Heirloom tomatoes are selected to taste good when grown in your region.

    No tomato can do it all, so when selecting for store bought tomato characteristics, flavor gets lost in the shuffle.
