What’s so Special About Cherry Tomatoes?
Cherry tomatoes have a sweetness and juiciness that packs a lot into a small package. Their small size means that even commercially grown varieties can be left on the vine longer, leading to more sugar content than other tomatoes. While most are sweet, varieties like Black Cherry carry a smoky or tangy note and those like Sungold lean heavily into a fruity sweetness.
