Yellow Cherry Tomatoes

Specialty/Fruit

Description
Usually making their appearance with their stem attached, pretty yellow cherry tomatoes vary in size and wear a very thin skin. Much like vine-ripened tomatoes in taste and texture, their rich flavor is deliciously sweet.

Grow Region
California Mexico

Storage Temperature
Add color and sweetness to salads or enjoy as a convenient snack. A perfect size for dressing up kabobs. For a tasty appetizer, spread cream cheese on crackers; top with yellow cherry tomato halves; add fresh sweet basil. Just the right size for stir-fries, toss in the last few minutes of cooking until just heated through to preserve their delicate texture. Complementary fresh herbs include parsley, dill weed, chili powder, curry, oregano, bay leaves, mint, thyme and garlic. Always serve tomatoes at room temperature for best flavor.
