What makes an Heirloom Tomato an heirloom?Β π
Β These tomatoes seeds are passed down from season to season, (sometimes even generation to generation) taken from the tomato plants that produced the best fruit. This process allows farmers to select certain desirable traits like juiciness, size, shape, or color and produce theΒ #UltimateTomato.Β πͺπΌ
Heirloom tomatoes are also often open-pollinated, which means that they are pollinated naturally, by birds,Β π¦Β insects,Β πΒ wind,Β π¨Β or human hands.π€ ππΌΒ No weird science-y genetic modification here!
