Bionana Organic Cherry Tomato "Black Cherry"

The dark red fruits of this tomato variety originally from the USA inspire with their intense aromatic taste and their strong bite. They weigh around 15 g and are the ideal tomateos to snack on. They are a great addition to salads, soups and sauces. The tomatoes owe their strong colour to the antioxidant anthocyanin.
