Sweet tomatoe are among the joy of life that summer time brings to us. Take a bite to the juicy fruit or vegetable and your tongue will taste the different blend of taste. Tomatoes are among the plants with the highest number of varieties. It is so difficult to keep track about the varieties of tomatoes that are available to be planted in the stores. Different stores will have different seeds and all the seeds will grow differently when exposed to different sun, temperature, rain and also soil type. That is why the tomato flavors are not the same.
Although many people love sweet, but in fact when it comes to tomatoes, the best ones are the one that has the balance level of acidity and sweetness. When the flavor is too sweet, then you may not use them as part of savory dishes because then you will have a sweetness that is too strong. Instead, you can use these types of tomatoes as the basic ingredients for sweet tomato dessert such as the tomato pie. This way, you do not need to add too much sugar to the tomato.
On the other hand, the tomatoes that are too acid will also cause an opposite reaction. However, they can only be used for sauces, pastes, purées, etc because you can still add the additional flavors to cover the real taste. Bu those with the balance level of acidity and sweetness are perfect to be used for everything. The tomatoes with the same level of acidity and sweetness do not mean that they are bland and flavorless. Rather, they are the one rich in flavor. The bland ones are the one that have low level of sugar and acid.
The heirloom tomatoes are known to be one of the most flavorful tomato varieties. The heirloom tomatoes are known to have very soft texture when they are completely ripe. That is one of the reason why the heirloom tomatoes are among the most favorite tomatoes for gardeners. Moreover, they are bigger than the regular tomatoes and they have so many different types of flavors. There are so many varieties that often t he beginner gardeners have difficulty in trying to find the perfect one for them. There are the varieties that are so big that they are almost twice the size of regular tomatoes, there are the ones with different colors such as black and pink, etc.
