    The grape tomato is small and round and most often used whole in salads or as a snack food and appetizer. It is generally available as either red or yellow in color and slightly smaller than a cherry or pear tomato, ranging in size from one half to almost an inch in diameter. It is closer in size to the currant tomato. Grape tomatoes have a higher sugar content than many cherry tomatoes, they have a long shelf life, and unlike most cherry tomatoes, can be eaten neatly in one bite, making them a squirt-free choice for social occasions.


    The cherry tomato is usually an inch or less in diameter, has a bright red or yellow color, and a sweet tomato flavor. However, the yellow variety is not as flavorful as the red variety. Also, compared with cherry tomatoes, each grape tomato plant yields about 50 percent less fruit.

    I have a question about the sweetness of my grape tomatoes. The finally started to turn red--red enough that I can eat some of them, but are just not sweet. I planted them 2 years ago in the same yard but I different spot. I did all the same things, but they are just not sweet. I live in western PA and we have had a nice hot/sunny summer so far. What's up?
