Review: I’ve never tried a strawberry tomato before today. Cherry tomatoes, yes. Plum tomatoes, check. Strawberry tomatoes are something new to me. These small fruits, which are packaged on the vine, look like slightly larger and elongated cherry tomatoes. There were 13 on the vine in this particular package, which makes the price reasonable, though not spectacular. Their taste is sweeter than a typical cherry tomato, but also more bitter. Sometimes I find myself snacking on tomatoes with a bit of salt sprinkled on them, however, these small red bulbs don’t have the allure of their close relatives. I would buy this product again for inclusion in a salad or pasta dish, but I’m afraid that is all they are good for… An ingredient.

Really?! I LOVE strawberry tomatoes! I recently found them here in Pittsburgh through a program called Good Apples, and I can’t stop snacking on them. They’re so sweet, and a little tangy (like a strawberry.) Maybe you got a bad batch.
