    Tomatoes

    Tomatoes come in varying shapes, colours and sizes, but are typically round with bright red skin. They are slightly sweet and acidic in taste, and are technically a fruit, even though nutritionally considered a vegetable.

    As the name suggests, this variety is smaller in shape - much like Cherry tomatoes. Grape tomatoes are slightly oblong in shape with a sweet pop of flavour.

    All year Solanato tomatoes

    Solanato tomatoes are similar to Grape tomatoes. Small, oval shaped and bursting with flavour.

    All year Vine ripened/Truss tomatoes

    Where are they grown

    Tomatoes are grown Australia-wide. In the northern states of Australia, tomatoes tend to be field grown, and hydroponically grown in southern states.

    To see when this variety is in peak season and Australian sourced, please view our Fruit and Veg seasonal calendar here.

    How to pick

    Select firm, vibrant tomatoes. Slightly less red tomatoes will continue to ripen, developing colour and flavour at home if stored at room temperature.

    How to store

    Tomatoes should be stored at room temperature in a light spot so they continue to ripen. To speed up the ripening process further, place them in a sunny spot near your fruit bowl or bananas.

    How to use

    The entire tomato can be consumed except the stem. Choose any variety to enjoy raw in a salad, sandwich, on top of bruschetta or in a salsa. Use gourmet, Roma or Grape tomatoes in a pasta—as the sauce or mixed through—throw them in a bake, or roast alongside your favourite meats and seafood.

    Fun facts

    If tomatoes stay attached to the truss (stems of the vine) they develop more flavour. Tomatoes contain vitamin C for a healthy immune system.*
