Heirloom tomatoes aren’t just about color and shape, they’re about history, too. Here's a breakdown of the 4 types commonly available.
🍅 Commercial Heirlooms, which is typically thought to be a seed strain introduced to production before 1940.
🍅 Family Heirlooms – Seeds passed down through generations, often tied to specific regions or families.
🍅 Created Heirlooms – Crosses between two different varieties of heirlooms.
🍅 Mystery Heirlooms – Nature’s surprise! No one really knows how they came to be—maybe a wild variety—but one thing’s for sure: we’re glad they did.

Bok choy, a beloved Asian vegetable, can also be grown locally in Canada, highlighting Canada as a close neighbor across the Pacific Ocean and one of the most culturally diverse places in North America. It is very common in Canadian markets and available alongside varieties such as baby bok choy and sui choy.
There are unbeatable ways to enjoy bok choy—stir-fried with garlic, simply steamed and seasoned, or cooked with any protein. Its crunchy texture and naturally sweet flavor make it a versatile and reliable favorite.
Locally grown in our FreshPoint Canada location.
