Tomato Varieties
There are many different tomato varieties, each with unique flavors, colors, and sizes. Common types include Roma tomatoes, known for their thick flesh and low moisture, making them ideal for sauces, and cherry tomatoes, which are small and sweet, perfect for snacking. Other popular varieties include beefsteak tomatoes, which are large and juicy, often used in sandwiches.
Tomatoes can also be categorized by their growth habits. Determinate tomatoes grow to a certain height and produce fruit all at once, while indeterminate tomatoes continue to grow and produce fruit throughout the season. This diversity allows gardeners to choose varieties that best suit their culinary needs and growing conditions.
