Not knowing about it, I'd assume the tomato isn't ripe yet in that state. But I assume it's perfectly ripened and delicious? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Oswald_Buzzbald@kbin.social 3 points 3 years ago (3 children) Yes, there are all sorts of tomatoes, coming in various shapes, sizes, and colors. They all have different tastes too, although it is going to taste like a tomato to some degree. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] ChrisFhey@kbin.social 0 points 3 years ago (2 children) I'm going to look around for something like this where I live. I've only ever come into contact with the "normal" tomatoes, but I'm intrigued. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] snooggums@kbin.social 2 points 3 years ago In addition to color variety, different tomatoes have different textures. A farmer's market is more likely to have a grower who knows the difference than a grocery store with a small heirloom basket where the staff just pit out what they have. Like some are more firm, or have more juice, and with a lot of variety like apples. permalink fedilink source parent [–] discodoubloon@kbin.social 1 point 3 years ago They’re all heirloom tomatoes. There are heirloom varieties of other things too. Tons of more flavors exist than what you are presented in the supermarket! permalink fedilink source parent [–] MothrOfChrst@kbin.social 1 point 3 years ago (2 children) Well that's definitely a tomato I've never seen - wild! My most interesting this year is probably the German Striped but I'm going to have to try those tie-dyes I think permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] memfree@beehaw.org 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) German Striped and variants of them are my better half's favorite. I've read that the thing to look for is green/brown shoulders on heirloom tomatoes as that is where all the tomatoey flavor comes from, and is the real reason redder tomatoes tend to be tastier than pale ones. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] MothrOfChrst@kbin.social 1 point 3 years ago Oh, cool! This will be my first time trying them, and I'm definitely looking forward to it. I haven't heard that before but it does make sense - I'll have to keep that in mind on my tomato journey haha permalink fedilink source parent [–] Bucket_of_Truth@kbin.social 15 points 3 years ago (1 child) Imo the more fucked up the tomato looks the better it tastes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Wot_The@kbin.social 2 points 3 years ago Eh..
