Roma produces abundant harvests of bright red, egg-shaped tomatoes about 3 inches long. The thick, meaty flesh contains few seeds and less juice than slicing tomatoes, making it ideal for cooking down into rich, thick sauces, pastes, and other dishes. A classic choice for gardeners who love to preserve their harvest.
