1 large tomato 7+ ounces
1 cherry tomato ½ - 2 ounces
1 pound fresh tomatoes 4 small tomatoes
3 medium tomatoes
2 large tomatoes
15-20 cherry tomatoes


Fresh tomato equivalents by cup measure

2 ½ pounds fresh tomatoes 3 cups chopped, drained fresh tomatoes
2 ½ pounds fresh tomatoes 2 ½ cups seeded, chopped cooked tomatoes
1 pound fresh tomatoes 3 cups pureed tomatoes
25 to 30 cherry tomatoes 2 cups chopped tomatoes


Canned tomato equivalents by weight and cup measure

1 (16-ounce) can 2 cups undrained tomatoes
1 cup drained tomatoes
1 (28-ounce) can 3 cups undrained tomatoes
