Cherry tomatoes are small, sweet, and nutrient-dense, often used in salads, snacks, and as garnishes for various dishes.
Cherry tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) are small, round, and brightly colored, typically red, yellow, or orange. Known for their sweet, juicy flavor, they are a popular ingredient in salads, salsas, sandwiches, and as a garnish. Rich in vitamins C and A, potassium, and antioxidants like lycopene, cherry tomatoes offer numerous health benefits, including promoting immune function, supporting eye health, and protecting against oxidative stress. Due to their small size, they are often eaten raw but can also be roasted, grilled, or added to cooked dishes. Their vibrant color and natural sweetness make them a favorite in many cuisines.
