Tomatoes

Tomato plants thrive when basking under the summer sun, which provides them with all the nutrients needed to grow into the juicy fruit they are! Their taste is a real reminder of hot summer days, and they're so versatile!

Mixed into pasta, turned into salsa; there's little a tomato can't do. This watermelon and tomato gazpacho is perfect for a hot day, and these sun-dried tomato palmiers the perfect savory treat for guests.
