Roma Tomatoes

Sold by Pound. *This product is sourced from a no spray/no pesticides farm. Origin/Usage Information: A Roma tomato is a popular type of tomato for Italian sauces. It is also a good tomato for salads. The Roma tomato is easier to make into tomato sauces than a beefsteak tomato. Romas tend to boil down faster than a salad tomato and have more flesh and less juice that a regular tomato.  Nutrition Benefits: Tomatoes are rich in vitamins A and C, and full of fiber. Field or vine-ripened summer tomatoes are higher in vitamin C than greenhouse tomatoes grown in the fall and winter, and fresh tomatoes have more vitamin C than when they are cooked or canned. Tomatoes are also noted for containing the antioxidant compound Lycopene, which is considered anti-carcinogenic and anti-inflammatory.
