A tomato produces natural sugar like any fruit..........
a tomato is not a vegetable

Long winded as in my former job I grew one and a half million plants per year

1,500,000 tomato plants a year and yet you can't handle 3 billboards

I learnt to grow tomatoes and cucumbers from the age of 16 years old - they taught me everything I know now my mentours ......great growers Southport gold cup winners .........
Without googling tomatoes botanical name Lycopersicum esculatum - family - Solanacae - believe it or not the same family as the deadly poisoned deadly nightshade .......
I learnt the genus and the species of a plant in the nursery everyday - loved Botany !

Yes but, @Rugby Toffee will know like me the is nothing nicer than a home grown tomato in taste. as long as you don't get Blossom rot...........
The one problem is even if they are healthy you have to give them to friend -family etc if you have a bumper crop also you can choose your varieties for taste size colour etc I grew purple ones one year lovely, and sweet - I used to grow the big beefsteak ones when we ate steak - In general variety Alicante was the best of the older varieties
Like you now getting older and how cheap they are I have stopped growing them as you say the big supermarkets the price as plummeted downwards - it very convenient, my wife has grown lettuce webbs wonder in grow bags fantastic taste homegrown - TBH with the summer we have had tomatoes would have grown easier outdoors, but how often do we get a blinding hot summer like this one....... hence the blossom rot.......grown inside....
