It would also go well with ourLeafy Green Salad.A tomato can only be called an heirloom if the seeds are passed down through the generations, and it has been bred true for at least 40 to 50 years. Heirlooms are primarily bred for flavor and not for durable skin, so you won’t often find them at the grocery store, but they do make a great addition to this toast. They can’t be shipped easily, the plant yield is low and they come with a short shelf life—resulting in a high price tag. If you love heirloom tomatoes, consider growing them yourself.Store fresh, ripe tomatoes stem-side down in a cool, dark place. Keep them away from other fruits and vegetables that may emit ethylene gas and cause overripening. You can refrigerate fully ripe tomatoes (stem-side down). They can last for about a week in the fridge, but it will compromise their flavor and texture. For sliced tomatoes, place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator.EatingWell.com, July 2024

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
