Grape Tomato Ultimate BLT Salad
Serves: 4
A Grape Tomato is a class of tomatoes originally believed to be of Southeast Asian origin. Shaped similarly to the oblong plum tomatoes but having the small size and sweetness of cherry tomatoes, they produce small and typically oblong fruits. Introduced to the worldwide market in the 1990’s, the Grape Tomato became an overnight sensation with both produce growers and customers alike. Producers benefit from the grape tomato’s hearty skin and high yield per plant, while customers enjoy the enhanced sweetness and convenient size. The most well-known and commercially significant variety, “Santa F1” was introduced into the United States market in 1997 by grower Andrew Chu, who obtained the seeds from Taiwan. This particular hi-bred has now flourished on both U.S. coasts and provides Nino’s with an abundant supply of these delicious tomato morsels year-round.
