Little Tomatoes: Small Tomato Fruits Pack a Big-Time Flavor Experience

Tiny tomatoes can be a treat for the eye and the tongue. They are more versatile for small dishes than full-size tomatoes, and they offer the ability to serve tomatoes on a plate without everything else getting tomato all over it. Surprise your friends with unusual little tomatoes for snacks, sauces and salsas. Most varieties of tiny tomatoes are easy to grow indoors or outdoors, and many produce delicious fruit all year long.

Sweet Baby Girl

The Sweet Baby Girl is a variety of cherry tomato plant with a particularly sweet flavored fruited. This is a good tomato to choose if you like to use your small tomatoes in salads. This variety of small, cherry-shaped tomato is best grown in full sun, with nutritious soil in a well-drained bed or plant pot.

Yellow Pear Tomatoes

Create unique tomato garnishes on hors d'oeuvres or make unique mozzarella salads with tiny yellow pear shaped tomatoes. These small but tasty tomatoes are blessed with a sweet, fleshy interior that is generally low on seeds and tomato goo.

Yellow pear heirlooms are great tomatoes to use if you want the tomato flavor without turning your dish bright red with tomato flesh. They are also sweet to eat if you pop them straight into your mouth for a fresh tomato treat. Yellow pear tomato plants are sometimes particularly susceptible to pests like tomato worms, but watch for those and pick them off and you can keep your tomato plant healthy and producing for a long time.

Cherry Roma

So named because they are shaped like tiny little Roma tomatoes, this common variety of small tomatoes is a must for any salad lover. These tomatoes are little, red, and just the perfect size to skewer on a toothpick with a piece of cheese.

With the classic tomato look, they are the standard staple for red color and tomato flavor in many Italian-style salads, including mozzarella pesto salads and in most Cobb salads. The Cherry Roma tomato variety is best grown indoors, where it will produce tomatoes for as long as the plant is kept healthy in a good growing environment.

Switch Up Varieties for Tiny Produce Pizazz

Cherry tomatoes can be a tasty treat, but if you go to the salad counter every day, eating the same little tomatoes all the time can give you a case of the produce blahs. Garden obsessed produce lovers have the option of growing a little plant bearing tasty cherry tomatoes all on their own to supplement what can be slim tomato choices outside the prime tomato season.
