πΏ BROWN TOMATO VARIETIES: WHERE TO BUY, BENEFITS, FEATURES.
Brown tomatoes are a real gem for those who appreciate an unusual harvest. Their deep chocolate, coffee or bronze shades not only impress with their appearance but also stand out for their rich, intense flavor with fruity or wine notes. In the TOMATO KING online catalog you will find a wide selection of rare brown tomato varieties from around the world.
Tomatoes with brown or chocolate skin belong to the so-called “black” or “bronze” groups. Their shade is formed thanks to a combination of anthocyanins and carotenoids in the skin and flesh. These varieties are famous for their complex taste: sweetness harmoniously combines with a slight acidity and a deep umami aroma.
