TOMATO-ROMA has a firm sweet flesh with an excellent taste. Its high dry matter content makes it a good variety for canning & making concentrate. Tomato’s that are partially green will ripen if left at room temperature. With their dense & meaty flesh & low moisture content, they are the ideal tomatoes for processing into sauces & pastes. These tomatoes have a cylindrical or plum shape, & feel heavy for their size.
