Striped Cocktail Tomatoes — Sun-Ripened, 12 oz (Certified Naturally Grown)

$5.00 12 oz bag · Picked this week

Striped orange and green cocktail tomatoes, picked ripe on the vine, bigger than a cherry tomato, smaller than a slicer, and more flavor than either. The stripe pattern isn't a novelty — it's what an open-pollinated tomato grown for taste looks like, rather than one grown for a grocery store shelf.

I picked this variety because of what it does in the mouth, not what it does in a display case. Sweet, complex, with enough acidity to actually taste like a tomato. The size is right for eating whole or halving onto a plate without any prep.

Good for: snacking straight from the bag, halving into salads, skewering with fresh mozzarella and basil, roasting whole until they blister and concentrate, a cheese board that needs color and something worth eating between bites.

Keep them on the counter, not the fridge. Cold kills the flavor a vine-ripened tomato earned. Eat within several days of delivery.
