A &#8220;dry&#8221; tomato has very dense flesh, zero watery gel, and almost no seeds inside the cavities. This makes them absolute perfection for boiling down into a thick, rich pasta sauce without having to simmer them on the stove for 6 hours to evaporate the water!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udccc Quick Summary (TL;DR): Zub Drakona (Dragon&#8217;s Tooth) \ud83c\udf0d Origin: An Eastern European heirloom variety.
