Kumato Tomato

'Kumato' is a trading name given to a patented cultivar of tomato developed in Spain called 'Olmeca', which went by experimental number SX 387. A typical tomato cultivar called "Kumato" weighs between 80 and 120 grams (2.8 and 4.2 ounces). It is hard, varies in color from green to reddish brown or purple, and has a flavor that can be either practically flavorless or sweeter than that of a conventional tomato because of a greater fructose concentration. Given that the "Kumato" is a hybrid, plants borne from seeds may not always resemble their parents.

'Kumato' is grown by specially selected growers in Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Greece, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, Mexico, Southern Lebanon, and on the Isle of Wight in the United Kingdom. They can range in flavor from mild to quite sweet and fragrant. Due to the high fructose level, it has a strong sweetness. Additionally, the juicy texture works well for making drinks or salads. You can keep it in the fridge to preserve it, but doing so may lessen its sweetness and flavor.
