Heirloom Tomatoes
You can find far more than plain yellow and red tomatoes in the grocery store these days. Heirloom tomatoes are becoming more popular: These are tomatoes grown from seed saved from non-hybrid tomatoes, usually those developed before 1945, when horticulturists began hybridizing plants. The tomatoes are flavorful and colorful; varieties include Brandywine, Green Zebra, and Cherokee Purple.
