Tomato varieties and best uses
The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common tomato varieties compare.
| Variety | Best for |
|---|---|
| Roma | Sauces, roasting, and slow-cooked dishes; low moisture and few seeds mean it breaks down cleanly. |
| Cherry | Salads, roasting whole, and snacking; naturally sweet with thin skins. |
| Beefsteak | Slicing for sandwiches and burgers; large, meaty slices with a mild flavour. |
| Heirloom | Fresh eating and salads; complex flavour and striking colour, best uncooked. |
| Grape | Snacking, 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.
