What varieties of tomatos are good.....?

To some extent...the degree of acidic taste is influenced by the soil where sandy is best.

Compare the famous perfectly acidic Jersey tomato with the same variety grown across the river in PA where the soil is clay.

Some of the best tasting acidic tomatoes are the open-pollinated and / or heirlooms varieties (*) such as...

Tigerella

* Aunt Gertie's Gold

* Spanish-types such as Muchmiel or Bolseno

* Silvery For Tree

* Gold Ball

Commercial varieties...

New Yorker

Valiant

Sandpoint

Literally sitting on Yahoo answers, eating a thick cut tomato sandwich, while my wife is canning tomatoes.

I grew 6 varieties of Tomato at my home in Nova Scotia, Canada. Cherry, Beefsteak, Raspberry, money maker, some form of yellow heirloom and Scotian.

I grow those types for there various desirable traits, but for slicing my preference is Beefsteak and my wifes favorite is Raspberry or yellow. Yellow are great for a lower acid content which gives it a nice taste and I also find that they ripen on the plant a bit quicker. Raspberries are a soft variety which is desirable to some and they ripen quite quickly. The beefsteaks are a large variety where patients is required but the results are a firm tomato with a nice taste. Beefsteak, Raspberry and the yellow heirlooms all are what I refer to as a 'full' tomato. What I mean by that is that there is a lot of flesh and not so much seed goop (scientific name). I also grow 100% better-than-organic. Pests are barely a problem because I fertilize with seaweed which makes the plants very strong. If you decided to grow without pesticides and you want any type of heirloom... MAKE SURE YOUR SOIL IS VERY GOOD!

As I mentioned, I live in Canada where the season is short. I use a greenhouse and I am still producing about 7-10lbs a day, and expect to until towards the end of the month.

I grow ton's of tomatoes all year round. I prefer Hillbilly Heirlooms. They are most of the time larger than beefsteak, very sweet and juicy. I also, like Striped Roma Tomatoes, Roma, Plum, Cherry, Grape, Beefsteak, Black Krim Heirloom, Brandywine Pink, Black Cherry, and several others. Id say shop around at a local farmers market, sample a few types of tomatos to help give you an idea of there taste, before you spend money on seeds or a plant that you may end up not liking.

Added note: Save the seeds from any tomatoes you happen to purchase and like. Planting them will save you lots of money in the long run. (One tomato can easily produce 20+ plants) All of the tomatoes Ive listed grow really well indoors for the winter, if that is something you are interested in doing. The cherry and grape do the best in homemade Upside down containers, Hillbilly do well too but are massive plants when fully grown. (Whether in a garden, pot, or in an upside down container.) They also can/freeze well.

Most tomatoes are acidic. Try buying from a farmer's market or roadside stand. They are much better than grocery store tomatoes.
