Sensual pleasures of tomatoes

Posted by Jacqueline Church Jul 6, 2006

But fear not, we can go back to a simpler, more pleasureable experience even a sensual experience with heirloom tomatoes, coming into the markets now. Even regular stores now occasionally carry heirloom tomatoes, so you have no excuse not to experience this wonderful treat.

Remember our discussion of well-traveled tomatoes? Well, the commercially produced, ethylene-gassed, thick-skinned varieties we find in most stores are nothing like the heirloom varieties just arriving now.

Check your farmers' markets, grocers or specialty stores for these seasonal beauties.
