The cherry tomato is a type of small round tomato believed to be an intermediate genetic admixture between wild currant-type tomatoes and domesticated garden tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes range in size from a thumbtip up to the size of a golf ball, and can range from spherical to slightly oblong in shape. Although usually red, other colours such as yellow, green, and black also exist.

La tomate cerise est un type de variété de tomate, cultivée comme cette dernière pour ses fruits - mais de taille réduite - consommés comme légumes.

Para los paladares poco amigos de los ejemplares más ácidos, la opción son los tomates cherri, pequeños y dulces.

OBS

cherri: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que "cherri", con i latina, es la adaptación recomendada de la voz inglesa "cherry". [...] El plural es regular, "cherris", a menos que vaya en aposición, en cuyo caso permanece invariable: "tomates cherri".
