Roma tomatoes are a popular variety of plum tomatoes known for their firm texture, meaty flesh, and low moisture content. They have an elongated shape with smooth, bright red skin, making them ideal for sauces, pastes, and canning. Their rich, slightly sweet flavor intensifies when cooked, enhancing the taste of soups, stews, and Italian dishes. Unlike juicier tomato varieties, Roma tomatoes have fewer seeds, which contributes to their thick consistency when blended or pureed. They are widely grown in warm climates and are a staple in both home gardens and commercial farms due to their high yield and disease resistance.
