These Cherry Tomatoes are small, bite-sized versions of tomatoes! They differ from cherry tomatoes due to their round shape, thinner skins, and more juicy pop. Cherry Tomatoes grow on the vine until ripe, and are generally ready for harvest in Ontario in July. They can be stored at room temperature for best flavour.

Cherry Tomatoes are perfect for enjoying fresh! They offer a satisfying pop of juicy, sweet flavour, or can be sliced and added to fresh summer salads, or into soups and stews. They are also perfect for salsas!

Tomatoes originated from South America, where over 10 different varieties have been growing for thousands of years. Tomatoes are technically nightshade berries with an umami flavour. Cherry tomatoes are the descendants of wild tomatoes (which are normally the size of peas), and grape tomatoes are a more recent cultivar of cherry tomatoes. Grape tomatoes are a hybrid from Taiwan, and were first grown in North America in 1996. Andrew Chu, a tomato farmer in Manatee County, Florida, branded the name 'Grape Tomato' in 1998.
