While shopping at my favorite store in the 4th Avenue district of Tucson, I came across this humongous heirloom tomato. I usually wait all year to find this kind so I was delighted to see them. This store has organic produce, and a lot of it is grown locally. This particular tomato weighed 2 1/2 pounds and my estimated cost would have been $17.50. I think this is a little excessive for sure. These tomatoes cost about 6.99 a pound. Did I buy it? No...but I think of the salsa I could have made from this one tomato, and I know it would have been delish! I am growing my own organic tomatoes but do not have this variety, although it is one of my favorites. I just thought it was a fabulously beautiful tomato. Mostly I find organic tomatoes at farmer's markets for $2 a pound and this pretty much stays true all year round. I wonder what the prices are in other parts of the world.....
