What are Plum Tomatoes?
Plum tomatoes are roughly egg shaped and sized tomatoes which were specifically bred for sauces and canning. Their breeding has made them highly flavorful, with a high solid content. Plum tomatoes are also easier to handle than some other tomato varieties, and they are often available year round at grocery stores, in varying states of quality. You can also grow plum tomatoes at home; many seed supply companies sell plum tomato seeds.
