Frequently Asked Questions
Are cherry tomatoes and grape tomatoes the same?
Although these two varieties of tomatoes are very similar, there are also a few differences. Grape tomatoes have more of an oblong shape, a thicker skin and they have a lower water content. However, they can be used interchangeably in recipes.
How do you store cherry tomatoes?
Cherry tomatoes have their best flavour at room temperature. It’s best to store them at room temperature in a bowl on your counter top. Generally, they will keep up to about three days at room temperature. If your cherry tomatoes are overly ripe, either use them right away or store them in the fridge for an extra day or two.
Can you freeze cherry tomatoes?
You can freeze cherry tomatoes, but the texture will change after they have defrosted. To freeze cherry tomatoes, lay them out on a baking tray and place the tray in the freezer for about 2 hours. Once the tomatoes are frozen, place them in a freezer proof freezer bag and store them in the freezer.
