You can't beat a home-grown tomato, and heritage tomatoes have a unique flavour that modern bred supermarket tomatoes simply lack. The truth is, commercial growers have bred tomatoes to be more productive, disease resistant, with fruits that have a longer shelf life. The downside to this is that the original 'proper' tomato flavour has been lost from this breeding of hybrid varieties, to create the standard tomato most people know today.. which don't taste of much at all compared to these!
In this video me and my other half taste test 18 wonderful tomato varieties which consist of mostly heritage ones. We decide which our 5 most favourite ones are. there are some delicious, and quite unusual ones here! so it's a difficult decision to make!
VIDEO CORRECTION: Mix up in the video - sungold are an F1 hybrid not an open pollinated variety.
