Heirloom tomatoes provide far superior flavor
than their store-bought counterparts. You're sure to find some of the
best-tasting heirloom tomatoes you've ever had in this list of our
favorite varieties.
What is an heirloom tomato? Many
gardeners have heard the term but don't really know what it means.
Happily, it's an easy definition: a variety that has been passed down
from gardener to gardener. Unlike modern hybrid varieties, heirloom
tomatoes come true from seed, making them easy to share.
The main reason to choose heirloom tomato varieties is the flavor.
There's no one taste; you'll find a wide range of flavors in the
heirloom-tomato world. But many of these varieties are prized for having
an old-time taste—they're a far cry from tomatoes at the grocery store,
or even from many modern hybrids like 'Better Boy' or 'Early Girl'.
