Description
Solanum lycopersicum. (F1) Health Kick Tomato
Named appropriately, this variety has fruit with 50% more lycopene than other common tomatoes. Lycopene is an antioxidant that is proving helpful in preventing cancers and other diseases. Besides being good for you, these plum-shaped tomatoes are extra-large, 4 to 6 ozs., making them excellent to use in salads or in cooking. Another important attribute is their resistance to tomato spotted wilt virus and bacterial speck, which are a real problem in some areas. Plants become about 4 feet tall and bear abundantly. Determinate. 74 days.
