When most people think cherry tomatoes, they think of the plump little red ones you get on a salad. Those are definitely a garden MUST-HAVE! But there are actually many varieties of little tomato. They come in all colors and all have a slightly different flavor. I try to include about half “really ripe” and half “about to be ripe” in your shares so you can enjoy them all week long. Here’s a quick identification quick guide for you:

Sweet 100: the standard in red cherry tomatoes
Gold Nugget: yellow/orange color, medium sized
White Currant: no pigment, teenie-tiny, very mild flavor
Green Grape: greenish, large, and soft when ripe.
Yellow Grape: slightly oblong, thin skins
Black Plum: very large, purple & green, very tasty!

Pop them as a snack, toss them into a salad, roast them on the bbq or sautee into some pasta.
