This is accurate; grocery store tomatoes are bred for durability rather than taste. The canned tomatoes down the soup aisle are honestly better than the fresh ones in the produce section. A large pot in a sunny corner of your back porch can do a lot better than your local supermarket.
depends on who grows them, we finally started getting domestic tomatoes in stores again here in sweden and they actually smell and taste like tomatoes should.
They don’t need to use the ones that are bred for durability if the shipping takes like an hour by truck…
Here in America? If you want higher quality farm-grown produce find a farmer’s market, the supermarket is going to make the most spreadsheet friendly decision every single time.
Supposed to be even more, particularly because you can pick at peak ripeness. Store ones they pick far beyond ripe so they transport and handle better.

yes, and the same goes for pretty much every other vegetable (and fruit, for that matter) out there.
You can harvest potatoes at peak ripeness. They don’t bruise like tomatoes.
It depends on the cultivar, but usually yes!
