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.
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.
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!
