This week we are featuring Sun Gold Tomatoes. These cherry tomatoes have an exceptionally sweet, fruity flavor.
Did you know that you can only purchase these bright tangerine-orange tomatoes at local markets? Due to their tendency to split, these fruits can not be shipped. As a result, this is a tomato that is grown for its flavor rather than its ability to be shipped across the country. You can taste the difference too!
Don’t know what to do with cherry tomatoes other than putting them in salads? Take a look at this recipe from Smitten Kitchen for Slow Roasted Tomatoes. Sun Gold Tomatoes are perfect for this recipe.

*Tuscano Kale in the intense afternoon sun. The brightness makes an otherwise very dark green kale (see the shaded leaf on the far left for comparison) look almost lime green.
Sunflowers!
