Yellow tomatoes are the sweetest and most harmless
They have more carotenoids than red ones yellow tomatoes
There are about 10,000 varieties of tomatoes, which are generally divided into two large groups. Tall tomatoes, which reach a height of 2 m to 3 m, and short tomatoes from 20 to 120 cm. Tall ones are ideal for small garden plots and greenhouses. Although many gardeners do not like yellow tomatoes, they are considered the sweetest. Yellow tomatoes are not just an alternative to the familiar red varieties, but a whole group with their own character, taste and purpose. From a nutritional point of view, yellow tomatoes are notable for their higher content of carotenoids, mainly beta-carotene and special forms of lycopene. Studies show that the carotenoid pigments in yellow fruits are more easily absorbed by the body, especially when consumed raw. That is why these tomatoes are often considered dietary and are recommended as part of a diet aimed at preventing age-related changes and maintaining vision.
For babies The low allergenicity of yellow varieties also deserves special attention. These tomatoes are less likely to cause individual reactions than deep red ones. This makes them especially popular in baby food and for therapeutic and preventive nutrition. But perhaps the main advantage of yellow tomatoes is their diversity. Modern selection offers fruits in a wide variety of shapes and sizes from miniature grape-like “droplets” to real giants weighing almost a kilogram, from perfectly round to heart-shaped, pear-shaped and full. Each variety has its own character – be it in sweetness, excellent shelf life, decorative bushiness or versatility, according to agronomist Denis Terentyev from Aif.ru.
Early Among the tall varieties for early cultivation, only those with small fruits, such as the yellow Mirabelle Wagner, are distinguished by their early maturity. To ensure the earliest harvest, the low-growing, early varieties are always planted under plastic tunnel covers or under a thicker layer in a greenhouse, alongside the taller varieties. Lecheben, Chudoto na sveta (Lemon Liana), Chuhloma and Kekhlibarena Kupa are the varieties that remain fresh for a long time after being picked. Varieties with firm flesh and uniform, with medium to small fruits, are ideal for preserving whole fruits. Among them are Yellow Mirabelle Wagner with small teardrop-shaped fruits, Yellow Pear with hard tomatoes weighing 50-70 g, Golden Canary with elongated fruits weighing 100-150 g, Fox - a grape variety with fruits of similar weight, Dragon's Heart with hard flesh, Chukhloma with the characteristic banana shape, Amber Cup with hard, crack-resistant fruits, as well as the varieties Lecheben, Chudoto na sveta (Lemon Liana), which give hard, universal tomatoes.
