San Marzano Tomato:
The San Marzano is an heirloom variety Roma tomato that is meatier and naturally sweeter than regular tomatoes and contains fewer seeds. This variety, whose lineage can be traced to a small Italian town of San Marzano near Naples, has a distinctive pear shape, thin skin, and rich flavor.

How to Store:
Store tomatoes at room temperature away from direct sunlight, use within one week after ripe.  Tomatoes taste best if not refrigerated; refrigerate only if you can’t use them before they spoil.

How to Select:
Choose tomatoes with bright, shiny skins and firm flesh.

Nutrition Benefits:
Tomatoes are low fat, saturated fat free, very low in sodium, cholesterol free, and low in calories.  They are also high in vitamin A, high in vitamin C, and a good source of potassium.
