Crisp and crunchy, Grape tomatoes come in a variety of colors that range from red, yellow, orange, and brown and to pink! Grape tomatoes have varying flavor, too, from sweet to tangy. With sturdier skin, Grape tomatoes hold their meaty texture when cooked. This makes them a great addition to a main dinner dish—when you’re roasting them in the oven, tossing them into your pasta, or adding a colorful side to your steak, chicken, or fish. Whether you prefer a red Grape’s candy-like sweetness or the tangy kick of a yellow Grape, these tomatoes are also great for snacking on raw—perfect for tomato lovers who just can’t get enough!

My favorite grape tomato plant is the “Super-Sweet 100”. I can only do container gardening but a large container with Miracle Gro Moisture Control soil is great. I get a fabulous crop.
I love to eat them right off the vine. It’s great to come home from work, pick a few, and sit down on the patio to enjoy them. I also have them fresh for lunch at work.
