Plum tomatoes are considered to be a bit more acidic in taste than the commonly found round variety.The plum tomato variety is obtained by cross-breeding and are often used for making sauces because of their acerbic flavor. This variety is also known as a processing tomato or paste tomato because of their dominant usage in salsas and other kinds of sauces.The popular varieties of Plum tomato in the markets are San Marzano and Roma FV. The best part about Plum Tomatoes is that they have less locules or seed compartments than their regular counterparts and hence are more fleshly in nature.
