Description

Cherry tomatoes are small, round, and sweet tomatoes, known for their compact size and intense flavor. Their juicy texture and sweetness make them ideal for complementing salads, pastas, pizzas, and a wide variety of fresh and quick recipes.

Originating in North America, cherry tomatoes were first cultivated in home gardens before becoming a popular ingredient in world cuisine. Their cultivation has spread to many regions due to their hardiness and ease of growing in temperate climates.

Regarding their properties, cherry tomatoes are an excellent source of vitamin C, antioxidants like lycopene, and are low in calories, making them a healthy option to add color and flavor to dishes. They also provide dietary fiber and minerals such as potassium.

In different Hispanic American countries, cherry tomatoes may be known by various names, including: tomatitos, tomates cereza, or simply cherry. However, the term "cherry tomatoes" is widely recognized in recipes and gourmet markets throughout the region.
