I am 56 and a half years old and still learn something new everyday, but I feel like I should have known this but I never knew it til yesterday.
Did you know that there are more colors of tomatoes than red? I have a Misfits Subscription. I receive boxes of mismatched vegetables every two weeks.
Within my box of vegetables this week, I received 3 orange tomatoes. I was so surprised. I wondered if they were stale. I then googled it and learned tomatoes can be orange and yellow.

I’ve never met a tomato that I didn’t love.

Yes tomatoes are so tasty. I was surprised when my husband told me that one of the women he works with hates tomatoes.

@JimBo452020 that is true. I will try not to say it as much and say dislike more.

Do the black tomatoes have a unique taste?

@LeaPea2417 All tomatoes have the same taste, no matter the color. Some small Italian striped tomatoes are firmer, so better for the salads.

Ha ha I can't believe you have lived this long and only ever had red tomatoes! You can get orange ones and yellow ones too, and green ones (not just unripe ones but ones that are green when ripe) and even black, and striped ones, and also different shapes - round, flattened, ovoid or pear-shaped. And of course lots of different sizes. Have a look here for a few examples
And did you know you can get red, orange, cream and purple carrots as well? Not to mention red-and-white-striped beets? And blue potatoes??

Very interesting, yes I knew about green ones but I only thought of them being unripe. I didn't know you could get ripe green ones.

I like the purple ones. I have seen a type that is Stripey as well. Do you enjoy the misfits market?

Yes the Misfits Market has brought forth vegetables and fruits that I have not eaten in a long time.

@LeaPea2417 I never eat green tomatoes. I prefer the red ones.

Yes, have you ever eaten fried green tomatoes? We will make that with green tomatoes that haven't ripened yet.
