Roma TomatoIf you like Italian spaghetti sauce, chances are it was made with delicious Roma Tomatoes. A favorite tomato variety among chefs and cooks everywhere, the Romas, often referred to as plum tomatoes are indeed perfect for sauces, paste; even ketchup. The meaty Roma with its vibrant red, egg or pear-shaped fruit are full-flavored, vigorous plants that can produce large quantities of up to 200 fruits each. Gardeners who like to do their own home canning prefer Roma Tomatoes because they have fewer seeds which make these ideal for sauce preparation.
