Canned tomatoes are really interesting. They are a different variety of tomatoes (Roma tomatoes) that can be picked via machine. That's also why they taste differently. The automated picking is why they are cheaper (plus the variety is better for quantity). One wouldn't be able to sell the automatically picked tomatoes uncanned since their skin gets damaged.
- bane 6y agoI buy fresh Roma Tomatoes at Costco all the time. They come in some horrible plastic packaging that keeps them safe and with the vines still on. Not as good as home grown, but not terrible. I think they're picked right when they start to ripen then finish in the box/transit.
