They are also tomatoes bred for taste rather than shelf life, which makes a significant difference. Unless they’re in season, I’d personally never use “fresh” tomatoes from the produce section. Canned tomatoes from a good vineyard will taste better and even be cheaper sometimes. For whatever reason, my generation (20s) tends to have a some repulsive initial reaction to canned goods. But as long as they’re packed sans preservatives, many fruits and vegetables are probably better for you than the “fresh” ones at the grocery store.
