About Sauce tomato

Wikipedia Article About Sauce tomato on Wikipedia

A plum tomato or paste tomato is a type of tomato bred for sauce and packing purposes. They are generally oval or rectangular in shape, with significantly fewer seed compartments than standard round tomatoes (usually only two) and a generally higher solid content, making them more suitable for processing. Plum tomatoes are also sometimes favored by cooks for use during the tomato off-season, as they are generally considered better for handling and are therefore closer to ripe than other supermarket tomatoes.

The most commonly available varieties are Roma VF (with a determinate or self-terminating vine) and San Marzano (semi-determinate; a signature tomato of Italian cuisine), though there are many other varieties. Small plum tomatoes (similar in size to cherry tomatoes) are known as grape tomatoes.
