Questions about Orange tomato
How do you choose a ripe orange tomato?
Look for even colour and skin that feels taut, without soft bruises or cracks. A ripe tomato should give slightly when you press it gently and smell pleasantly tomato-like near the stem.
Can you use orange tomatoes in salsa?
Yes. Dice them with red onion, chilli, coriander, lime juice and salt; drain off excess juice first if you want a salsa that stays chunky rather than watery.
How do you roast orange tomatoes?
Halve smaller tomatoes or cut larger ones into wedges, toss with a little oil, and roast cut-side up at 200 °C for about 25–35 minutes, until soft and lightly browned. They’re good with pasta, on toast or alongside roast vegetables.
How should you store orange tomatoes?
Keep uncut tomatoes at room temperature, out of direct sunlight, and use them when ripe. Refrigerate cut tomatoes in a covered container and use within a few days; bring them back towards room temperature before serving for fuller flavour.
What can you use instead of orange tomatoes?
Use ripe red or yellow tomatoes in the same amount in salads, sauces and cooked dishes. The colour will change, and red tomatoes may taste more tangy, so taste the dish before adding extra vinegar or lemon.
Are orange tomatoes a different kind of tomato?
They are cultivated varieties of tomato, not a cross between a tomato and an orange. Their orange colour comes from the pigments in the fruit, and varieties differ in size, sweetness and texture.
Are orange tomatoes good eaten raw?
Yes. Slice them for salads or sandwiches, or serve wedges with olive oil, salt and fresh herbs. If the skin feels tough, score the base, dip the tomato briefly in boiling water, then cool it in cold water and peel.
