Tomberry

Tomberries are a variety of tomato that are known for their small size and intense flavor. They are often referred to as the smallest tomatoes in the world.

History

The Tomberry was first cultivated in the Netherlands by the Dutch company Eminent Seeds. The company sought to create a unique tomato variety that would stand out in the market. The result was the Tomberry, a tomato that is only about 0.5 to 1 cm in diameter.

Characteristics

Tomberries are characterized by their small size, typically measuring less than a centimeter in diameter. Despite their small size, they pack a lot of flavor. They have a sweet, intense tomato flavor that is often described as concentrated.

The skin of the Tomberry is thin and smooth, and the tomatoes are typically bright red or yellow in color. They have a firm texture and are filled with tiny, edible seeds.

Culinary Uses

Due to their small size and intense flavor, Tomberries are often used as a garnish or in salads. They can also be used in pasta dishes, on pizzas, or in any dish where a burst of tomato flavor is desired.

Because of their small size, Tomberries do not need to be chopped or sliced before being used in dishes. This makes them a convenient option for quick and easy meals.

Cultivation

Tomberries are grown in the same way as other tomato varieties. They require a sunny location and well-drained soil. They are typically grown from seeds, which are sown in early spring and transplanted outdoors after the last frost.
