Cherry tomatoes (optional)

Description

Cherry tomatoes (optional) are small, round fruits with smooth, shiny skin and vibrant colors ranging from red to yellow, with a sweet-tart, juicy flavor and a delicate, crunchy texture that adds freshness to dishes. Their small size and intense aroma make them visually and tastefully appealing both as a decorative addition and as the main highlight of salads or snacks. They are a good source of vitamin C, potassium, lycopene, and fiber, which supports immunity, heart health, and digestion, and has antioxidant properties. They are typically used in salads, on sandwiches, as an ingredient in salsas, roasted sides, in pasta dishes, and as a snack. They are best stored at room temperature for 2–3 days, and in the refrigerator in a perforated container for up to a week; avoid moisture to prevent mold.
