What is it?

A bite-size tomato, this one is sweet and shaped like an elongated sphere (just like a grape). It’s usually red or yellow and less than an inch in diameter.

Don’t have it?

Try cherry or pear tomatoes instead.

How to store:

Leave tomatoes at room temperature until you’re ready to use them. Refrigeration causes loss of flavor and a mealy texture.
