Features and benefits of growing pink tomatoes

Of course, everyone primarily associates tomatoes with red fruits, but it is believed that colored tomatoes are much more tasty and healthy: yellow (orange), black (brown) and pink.

Thus, the advantages of growing pink tomatoes over red ones are:

Interesting! As a rule, if you go to the market or see pink tomatoes in the supermarket, then their price will be significantly higher than red tomatoes. If only for this reason, they must be grown on your site.

  • Excellent taste: they are sweeter and more delicate (delicacy).

Pink tomatoes are just perfect for making summer salads.

  • The high content of useful and nutritious substances: they have much more trace elements and sugars, as well as individual B vitamins, carotene and especially lycopene.

By the way! It is believed that regular consumption of pink tomatoes can significantly strengthen overall immunity, improve cerebral circulation, reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular and oncological diseases, and also help to some extent fight asthenia and mild depression.

If we talk about shortcomings, then there are none as such, except that pink tomatoes require more careful farming (a little more dressing so that they gain more dry matter and sweetness) and growing conditions.

Advice! remember, that indeterminate tomatoes are more suitable for greenhouse cultivation, especially if you live in a short summer (for example, the Middle Lane). Only in the South of Russia can they be successfully grown outdoors.

And here determinant tomatoes, especially undersized, ideal for open ground.
