Roma tomatoes, also known as paste tomatoes, are elongated, egg- or pear-shaped with a bright red peel. Their thick fruit wall and firm flesh make them ideal for cooking down into sauces. When planting Roma tomatoes, ensure well-draining soil and full sun exposure. These tomatoes are a great choice for homemade sauce!
