Are Grape Tomatoes

ANSWER: Grape tomatoes are small, oblong tomatoes with thick skins, meaty flesh, and lower water content than cherry tomatoes.

Shaped like an oval or a large grape, they feature a thick, taut skin that gives them a snappy crunch and resists cracking.

Inside, they have dense, meaty flesh and far fewer seeds and watery gel than standard slicing varieties. This structure gives them a naturally concentrated sweetness and a significantly longer shelf life.

In the kitchen, they hold their shape during high-heat roasting, stay crisp in tossed salads, and won't release excess water into guacamole or salsas.
