Market 32 Grape Tomatoes
What it is
These are small, oval-shaped tomatoes, typically about the size of a large grape. They have a sweet flavor and a juicy texture, with a thin skin that makes them easy to eat whole. Their compact size and bite-sized form make them a convenient choice for various culinary applications. They are a popular variety for snacking and adding a fresh burst of flavor to dishes.
How people cook with it
Grape tomatoes are versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways, both raw and cooked.
- Snacking straight from the container
- Tossed into salads
- Roasted with herbs
- Added to pasta dishes
Simply rinse them under cool water before using. They are perfect for eating raw as a healthy snack, adding a pop of color and sweetness to green salads, or skewering for appetizers. When cooked, they soften and release their juices, making them ideal for roasting alongside vegetables or tossing into pasta sauces. Their small size means they cook quickly, concentrating their flavor. You can also halve them for quicker cooking or to distribute their sweetness more evenly in dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to larger tomato varieties, grape tomatoes offer a more concentrated sweetness and a firmer texture. Their smaller size makes them less watery and more suitable for dishes where distinct tomato pieces are desired, rather than a sauce base. They also tend to have a thinner skin, which is less noticeable when eaten.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and flavorful addition to meals and snacks.
How to keep the rest
To keep the rest fresh, store them unwashed in their original container or a breathable bag at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Avoid refrigerating them, as this can affect their texture and flavor. Use them within a week for the best taste and quality.
