Red Tomato On The Vine
Estimated Inventory, 10 lbs : 0
Description/Taste
Red on the vine tomatoes are marketed and sold stem-on, with four or five tomatoes on each vine. As they are allowed to ripen to a later stage of maturity, they have a higher sugar content, are uniformly bright red, and medium-sized.
Seasons/Availability
Red on the vine tomatoes are available year-round.
Current Facts
The vine attached to these tomatoes contains nutrients and continues to feed the fruits while they are ripening in cases or on the shelf. Other varieties are picked green and ripened with a poly ethylene gas which reduces the natural sugar content and sometimes results in a more mealy texture.
