Heirloom tomatoes are open-pollinated varieties grown from seeds passed down for generations, prized for their diverse flavors, colors, and irregular shapes compared to uniform supermarket hybrids. Unlike industrially bred tomatoes optimized for shipping and appearance, heirlooms prioritize taste and are not genetically modified, though the term is unregulated.
