Roma tomatoes, also known as plum tomatoes, are oval-shaped and meatier than other tomato varieties, with fewer seeds and lower moisture content. Their dense, firm flesh makes them ideal for sauces, pastes, and canning. With a slightly tangy, rich flavor, Roma tomatoes are a staple in Italian cuisine and popular for roasting and cooking. They’re low in calories and an excellent source of vitamin C, potassium, and lycopene.
