Cherry tomatoes are small and round, about one inch in size, and they ripen to a beautiful red/yellow color.
Cherry tomatoes are branded by their high-nutrition properties, and are said to deliver 30% more vitamin C and 40% more lycopene than the average tomato. Lycopene is a naturally occurring antioxidant that is responsible for the red pigmentation of tomatoes. Lycopene may help protect cells in the body from damage, which is why it has been studied for its potential role in reducing your chances of developing certain types of cancer, notably prostate, colorectal and stomach cancer. There has also been scientific evidence that the lycopene content of tomatoes may be good for maintaining a healthy heart. The human body does not produce lycopene on its own, and therefore the only way to get it is through consumption. In North America, more than eight percent of dietary lycopene comes from tomatoes and tomato products.
Cherry tomatoes are full of flavor, and they can be eaten fresh off the vine. They are a great addition to fresh salads or party trays, but they can also be used in cooking, as they are delicious sautéed, grilled and stewed. Preserve by canning, drying, or freezing.
Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight until fully ripe, after which they can be placed in the refrigerator to slow down the ripening process.
