Cherry tomato is a small, round tomato with thin skin and juicy flesh. It bursts easily with a sweet, bright pop and works well raw, roasted whole, or quickly blistered in a hot pan. Commonly sold loose or on-the-vine in red, yellow, and multicolor packs.

Descended from wild tomatoes of the Andes and domesticated in Mesoamerica, cherry-sized types spread worldwide with cultivation. Modern breeding refined size, color, and shelf life; they feature in Mediterranean and Asian cuisines and are produced year-round in greenhouses.
