Cherry tomatoes and grape tomatoes may look almost identical at first glance, but they’re actually a little different.
Cherry tomatoes are usually rounder, juicier and slightly sweeter, while grape tomatoes tend to be firmer, meatier and a little less watery and, well, shaped like a grape!
Both are incredibly versatile and one of the things I’m especially thankful for this time of year.
I remember how easy these were for my parents to grow when I was a child.
Cherry tomatoes are wonderful tossed into salads, roasted until they burst or added to simple pasta dishes. Grape tomatoes hold up beautifully in lunch boxes, grain bowls and skewers because of their firmer texture.
And when roasted, both become even sweeter and richer in flavor.
It’s one of those simple ingredients that can make meals feel brighter, fresher and more colorful without much effort.
Which do you prefer?
I’d love to hear how you enjoy using them.
I started out over 10 years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
