Flavored
with sunshine Lucy tastes delicious! Because local farmers are close to market, they can harvest at the peak of ripeness. Tomatoes that are allowed to ripen outside on the vine soak up sunshine. A fully ripened tomato has more natural sugars and that’s what gives them that sweet homegrown flavor.
Ripened
with gas Poor Tom is just a poser. He may look ripe
on the outside, but inside he hasn't got much flavor. Traveling tomatoes are picked green and then gassed with ethylene prior to shipping. Without the vine to give them their full tomato-ey flavor, traveling tomatoes are just mature green tomatoes all gassed up to
look ripe.
Locally grown fruits and vegetables are usually sold within 24 hours of being harvested.
