I lived almost 7 years in Germany, and the average tomato at a supermarket was lightyears beyond the US. Then farmers markets are even better.

But tbf, only for a few months when the many small farmers grow them outdoors and sell them for unbelievably cheap.

Rest of the time it's greenhouse tomatoes like everyone else.

I am willing to participate in a blind taste test to resolve this issue.
