It comes to no surprise why Roma tomatoes are commonly used for making the best sauces and salsas. Their thick-walled and meaty centers are produced with excellence which give them the perfect combination of texture and flavor. These are not considered slicing tomatoes, but instead, they are used to cook down into very rich and tasty sauces. Because of their thicker egg-shaped body, Roma tomatoes hold their consistency very well making this variety very easy and delicious to work with. There are many well-known health benefits to eating tomatoes as it supports heart health because of the rich amount of potassium. Lately, studies are showing a link between tomatoes and cancer protection due to the natural compounds contained in the fruit.
