Kumato Tomatoes
A uniquely coloured tomato that changes from a bright green skin to its ideal dark brown redish colour when ripe. The Kumato can be eaten and enjoyed at all stages of its life. They are extremely sweet and have a strong and distinctive taste. Developed through the natural crossing of wild and domestic tomatoes. Traditional breeding techniques resulted in these brown skinned tomatoes without the use of any genetic modification.

Gourmet dishes, salads and sandwiches when the skin is dark brown. Cook them when the skin is dark red for great sauces and soups. |
