Despite their varying appearances, heirloom tomatoes like the pineapple tomato deliver exceptional flavors not typically found in supermarket varieties, making them a favorite among gardeners.
The nutritional differences between heirloom tomatoes and standard varieties like beefsteak and cluster tomatoes are minor, yet heirlooms boast unique taste and texture.
Originally thought to be cultivated in Kentucky or Ohio, pineapple tomatoes bring an unusual and exceptional flavor that can brighten any dish if sourced locally.
