Tomatoes
Tomatoes are one of the most popular summer crops, valued for their bright flavor, versatility, and wide variety of shapes, colors, and sizes. Although commonly used as a vegetable, tomatoes are botanically a fruit.
Thousands of tomato varieties exist, ranging from small cherry and grape tomatoes to large slicing tomatoes, heirlooms, paste tomatoes, and specialty varieties. Tomatoes may be red, yellow, orange, pink, purple, green, or striped, with flavors ranging from sweet and mild to rich and complex.
Where to buy fresh Tomatoes near you
Select tomatoes that feel heavy for their size and have smooth, unblemished skin. Look for vibrant color and a fresh tomato aroma near the stem. Choose firm tomatoes for slicing and softer, fully ripe tomatoes for sauces. Avoid tomatoes with cracks, bruising, mold, or soft spots unless using immediately.
