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.
