Description

A very well-known, flavorsome paste tomato, this Roma doubles as a good salad tomato because its flesh does not collapse too easily. Prized for their use in tomato paste and sauces, these Romas are thick-walled, meaty, bright red, egg-shaped tomatoes that are not overly juicy. This is not a slicing tomato. Instead, the flesh is thick and drier so that it will cook down into a thick sauce. Cooking intensifies flavor, too. The fruit freezes well for later cooking.

Roma Tomatoes contain dietary fiber, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, vitamins A, B6, and C, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, biotin, folate, and amino acids.
