All tomatoes are fruits of the plant, although they’re typically referred to and used as vegetables when cooking. Here’s a guide to the most popular varieties and their best culinary uses!

With so many different types, it can be difficult to choose the best one for your cooking needs.

For reference, here are the best types of tomatoes for various purposes:

  • Sauces: Roma, heirloom, tomatoes on the vine
  • Canning: Roma, heirloom, tomatoes on the vine, green tomatoes
  • Salads: grape, cherry
  • Skewers: cherry
  • Sandwiches: beefsteak, tomatoes on the vine
  • Fried: green tomatoes
  • Snacks: grape, cherry, heirloom

Although some varieties are better suited for specific purposes, they’re all versatile. For instance, although beefsteak tomatoes are not ideal for salads, they can still easily be used in one with tasty results.
