GRAPE TOMATOES

About Grape Tomatoes

Tomatoes are technically a fruit. A US Supreme Court decision is the reason many people think they’re a vegetable.

If you’ve ever grown your own tomatoes, you’ll just love ours. They’re the closest to homegrown we think you’ll ever find. We’re rather fond of tomatoes – that’s why we offer so many varieties.

We grow a tall stake variety of grape tomatoes. They requires more labor but that’s why you always have a sweet, great textured tomato when you buy the Lady Moon Farms pint! Also check out our cherry tomatoes and specialty tomatoes.

Selection

Choose tomatoes that are firm with a well developed color.

Storage

Store at room temperature in a cool place.

Preparation

C’mon, if you like tomatoes, you know how to prepare them.

Nutrition

Tomatoes contain high levels of lycopene, a potent antioxidant that is believed to offer protection against some types of cancer and heart disease.

Lycopene is abundant in the skins of tomatoes and is believed to be more readily absorbed when heated with oils like olive oil. Tomatoes are rich in vitamins A and C as well as potassium, calcium, and folic acid.
