        I definitely think it depends on the state of your tomato. A store bought tomato has a more sour, acidic taste due to how they’re harvested and ripen off the vine. If you get them more locally sourced, and they ripen on the vine longer, they definitely develope the flavors you’ve mentioned.

          Born and raised within shipping distance of Arkansas, which, as far as I’m concerned, produces the tastiest store-bought tomatoes.
