About Plum tomato

A plum tomato is a firm, elongated tomato type with relatively dense flesh and a small seed cavity compared with many round slicing tomatoes. Its skin is usually red when ripe, and its flavour is mildly sweet and tangy, with a meaty texture that holds together during handling.

Plum tomatoes are commonly chopped, cooked into sauces, or preserved. They are sold fresh and may also appear canned whole, diced, or puréed; these processed forms differ in texture and often in added ingredients, so they should not be treated as identical to the fresh tomato.
