Ingredient: Cherry tomatoes

Cherry Tomatoes are a type of tomatoes that look like cherries. They are small (they can range from a thumb tip up to the size of a golf ball) and round (they can range from spherical to a slightly oblong shape). They are believed to be a genetic admixture between regular tomatoes and domesticated garden tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes taste like any other type of fresh tomatoes but with a more concentrated flavor because of their small size. They do have thinner skin and a juicier center and can be sometimes sweeter or milder than regular tomatoes, which usually pack a distinct tangy flavor. In addition to the possibility of eating them raw, cherry tomatoes are used in the same ways regular tomatoes are used in the kitchen, serving mainly in liquid-based recipes such as curry, soup, chowder, and vinaigrette. They are tossed on top of a salad, pizza, pasta, rice noodles, tarts, shrimp, chicken, crab, bacon, lamb, and many others as well. Not to mention they can be stuffed or roasted, whether on their own or alongside other vegetables such as bell pepper, and paired with cheese and herbs. Cherry tomatoes last up to 10 days when stored in an environment with a temperature between 45 and 60 °F, but once they are put in the refrigerator, their shelf life usually shrinks by five days.
