Description

Campari tomatoes are a variety of tomato prized in cooking for their sweet, juicy, and slightly acidic flavor, making them ideal for salads, sauces, and fresh garnishes. These tomatoes are characterized by their medium size, round shape, and thin, shiny skin, which makes them very visually appealing and easy to handle.

Originating in Italy, Campari tomatoes have gained popularity worldwide thanks to their excellent combination of sweetness and acidity, as well as their low seed content. This variety is cultivated especially in temperate climates and is distinguished by its high water and natural sugar content, which gives them a firm and juicy texture.

Among their nutritional properties, they stand out for their contribution of vitamin C, antioxidants like lycopene, and essential minerals that promote cardiovascular health and strengthen the immune system. Furthermore, their low calorie content makes them a healthy choice for balanced diets.

In different regions of Latin America, Campari tomatoes may also be known as "large cherry tomatoes" or simply "Campari tomatoes", although they should not be confused with other small tomatoes like cherry or grape tomatoes, which are distinct varieties.
