Special Tomato Varieties

Red Star Oxus grows special tomato varieties Prodeso F1 and Trovanzo F1 called carpal. Specially bred by breeders, carpal-Tomato plants produce large and fleshy fruits weighing more than 150 grams. There are even "champions" weighing more than 250 grams!

Large fruits have exceptional nutritional value and are dessert products because they contain the highest percentage of solids, sugars, beta-carotene (provitamin A) and lycopene, a substance that prevents cancer.

If you cut the vegetable, then four segments are visible inside, and not two, as in ordinary round varieties. Therefore, carpal - tomato is easier to cut and is perfect for salads, snacks and sandwiches. Despite the fact that carpal fruits are usually consumed raw, they can also be used for frying, baking in the oven and canning with slices.
