How to choose
the best tomatoes
With so many different types of tomatoes, picking the right size and shape depends on how you plan to use them.
Different varieties suit different recipes, salads, or snacking.
Look for tomatoes with vibrant, consistent color, whether that’s red, yellow, or purple. They should feel firm but give a little to gentle pressure, which means they’re ripe. Avoid blemishes or soft spots. The aroma matters too. A ripe tomato has a sweet, earthy smell at the stem. Follow these tips, and you’ll be a pro in no time.
