I like them both. I'm just like you. I use the fresh tomato for salad and hamburgers and the canned tomato for cooking. But the fresh tomato is more healthier for us. Sometimes I just eat the fresh tomato by itself with season salt sprinkled on top.

Hi, alexsis. I like them both too. I totally agree with you. Whether fresh or canned tomatoes, they are both tasty. It's said that it's healthier for us to eat fresh one. On most occasions, I'll choose fresh tomato when summer coming. Have a happy day! :)

I like fresh tomato best. Every summer I grow my own. I love them in salad or just sliced and eaten with a little salt. When the vines become loaded down, I stew the tomatoes with onion and green peppers, after stewed, I cool then place in zip lock freezer bags to freeze. In this way I am able to enjoy the tomatoes for many months afterwards. Be it in chili, homemade pizza, vegetable soup, all I have to do is take a few bags out of the freezer to add to my favorite dishes..yum.

I like both, but I do prefer fresh tomatoes. I just love the fresh taste they can bring to any dish. It's easier sometimes to just use a tin of tomatoes though.

I'd just peel and chop your fresh tomatoes, catching juice where possible, and measure in a measuring cup. You may go a bit heavier on the fresh since the canned are more concentrated in flavor from the canning process.

i prefer fresh if it's available.tomatoes tend to pick up the taste of the can,it's kind of gross. it's probably the slightly acidic qualities of it.

I am weird, I have to say I like to eat "cooked tomato", I like it with egg or with fish, it is much more delicious when it's cooked I think. I don't eat tomato in any other ways unless it's a piece in hamburger or soemthing. I like the soft texture and the taste of the cooked tomato!

I like them both. When eating fried or broiled food I used fresh tomatoes with salt to eat with them. Fresh tomatoes I also used for cooking fish and meat. Canned tomatoes are usually used for cooking or a spaghetti sauce. Bottled tomatoes we used for sanwiches or sauce. I just love tomatoes, it is one of the healthiest food because it has lycopenne.

Definitely fresh tomato is my first choice. They are fresh and more nutritious than the canned and have better texture too. I believe the canned tomato contained lots of additives added.

I think fresh tomatoes contains more vitamins than canned tomatoes. I also love salads, my mother makes salads from green and red tomatoes, but are delicious to me.
