About the Product
A vine tomato (also known as a tomato on the vine or truss tomato) is a type of tomato that is left attached to the vine during harvesting and sold that way. Here are some key points about vine tomatoes:
Characteristics:
-
Flavorful: Keeping the tomatoes on the vine enhances their flavor and aroma, as the vine continues to feed nutrients to the fruit after picking.
-
Freshness indicator: The green vine can indicate freshness—the greener and firmer it is, the fresher the tomatoes.
-
Types: They can be cherry, plum, or round tomatoes. The term “vine tomato” refers to how they’re sold, not a specific variety.
Culinary Uses:
-
Great for salads, roasting, sauces, or garnishing dishes.
-
Their slightly sweet, rich flavor makes them ideal for fresh eating.
