Cherry Tomatoes

Description

These small, juicy fruits burst with color and flavor. Though many varieties are red, they also come in shades of orange, yellow, purple, and green.

The most notable difference between cherry tomatoes and other tomatoes is their size — they can be as small as a penny or as large as a golf ball in diameter.

Tomatoes of all types are incredibly nutrient-dense, boasting vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, carotenoid antioxidants, phytosterols, and phenolic compounds.

Tomatoes tend to be a great source of vitamins A, C, and E, as well as the B vitamin folate . In particular, cherry tomatoes are rich in the minerals calcium, manganese, phosphorus, and potassium. They’re also high in carotenoids, a type of antioxidant found in red, orange, and yellow fruits and vegetables
