Maybe the question should be more about heirloom v conventional?

Most conventional veggies and fruits have been bred for packaging and aesthetics over flavor. Consider the conventional tomato. It is bright red, has a thick skin and is shaped to perfectly fit in a packaged box. It tastes like water. Conversely, Heirloom tomatos are oddly shaped and multi colored and taste so much better. But are harder to package and sell.
