Cherry tomatoes are tiny, juicy bursts of candy

When you learned to ride a bike, you had training wheels to make sure you didn’t scrape your knee or immediately fall over onto the lawn. That’s how I see cherry tomatoes.

The tiny, sweet fruit is a great way to work your way up to the thick dinosaur of the tomato world — the beefsteak tomato. Those mothers — which will likely be at market in a few weeks — can clock in at over a pound apiece. So starting with a tomato the size of a marble is how you train yourself to tackle the beefiest tomato.
