“Similarly” indicates that the relatively small “dry-farmed tomato” has all the flavor of a “conventionally grown” large tomato, just as it has all the nutrients. The blank requires a word that means something like condensed. Only “concentrated” works. “Shrunken” and even “scanty” might be attractive, but neither captures the idea that the tomato has a great deal packed into a small package. And while a dry-farmed tomato might be both “delicious” and “healthful,” again, neither of these create a sentence that fits with the clue offered in the first part of the sentence.

The word "similarly" elicits a comparison between the nutrient value and the flavor. Since the nutrient value of a dry-farmed tomato is greater than a conventional grown much larger tomato indicating a greater density of nutrients, there should be a greater density or concentration of flavor.
