VarietyBest for

CherrySalads, roasting whole, and snacking; naturally sweet with thin skins.
BeefsteakSlicing for sandwiches and burgers; large, meaty slices with a mild flavour.
HeirloomFresh eating and salads; complex flavour and striking colour, best uncooked.
GrapeSnacking, lunch boxes, and quick salads; similar to cherry but firmer and oblong.

Which should I pick?

Roma is the best choice for sauces and cooking, with firm, low-moisture flesh that holds up well to heat. Use Beefsteak or Heirloom when you need thick slices for fresh eating; Cherry or Grape work well for snacking and salads.
