Roma Tomatoes Seeds
Being familiar with all types of tomatoes, such as Roma, cherry or other types, as well as the number of seeds, skin layer and other specifications, can give you a leg up in the tomato trade business
There are two elements that distinguish Roma tomatoes from other types which include having fewer seeds and a thick skin layer
Firstly, It needs to be mentioned that the Roma tomato has fewer seeds compared to other types which makes it so desirable for eating as snacks, and this feature has turned the Roma tomato into one of the most commonly used types for making sauce and paste
In spite of having fewer seeds, the Roma tomato’s thick skin layer is another factor that makes it unique and different from Grape and Cherry tomatoes
As a result of this, Roma can be maintained longer due to air penetration resistance or any particles that spoil it
For the reasons above, choosing Roma tomato for making sauce, paste and even eating as a snack could be the right decision
All merchants should be capable of understanding the differences between types of tomatoes to go for the right kind in the most proper situation
Red Beefsteak Tomato
One of the most popular tomato cultivars is Red Beefsteak which plays an important role in cooking a huge variety of foods and sauce production
Compared to Grape, Cherry and Roma types, Beefsteak tomato is larger in size and sweeter in taste
Beefsteak is also known for its meaty flesh and great resistance to common tomato plant diseases
As stated priorly, this type is among large tomatoes with a round shape which makes it perfect for fitting into burgers and sandwiches
Beefsteak is also so tasty and sweet, therefore it can be used as an ingredient in many dishes
Moreover, Beefsteak is less sensitive to the air or soil temperature and other circumstances which makes it easier for a lot of people to plant and grow large amounts of this type whether in the house or large fields
Meaty flesh is another advantage of Beefsteak tomatoes that leads to the massive use of this type for cooking as well as sauce and paste production
To Summarize, it should be stated that Beefsteak is a very commonly used tomato cultivar for numerous delicious recipes, as well as sauce and paste production
It is highly important to get familiar with different tomato variants and opt for the best type in each situation
Cherry Tomato Plant

Cherry tomato is considered one of the smallest types of this plant and has many uses in salads and dishes
This kind of tomato is widely used for decorating salads and foods and is mainly known for sprawling growth, being small, having various colors and noticeable health benefits
First, the Cherry tomato is mostly indeterminate since it has huge sprawling growth, but it can also be determinate and grow as bushes in case of limited space

Besides, Cherry tomato comes in red, black and yellow colors which can be used alternatively in different dishes
Additionally, the health benefits of this type of tomato cannot be ignored
