Radiant crimson color in every bite
Whether they realize it or not, today’s savvy shoppers are looking for more than just taste when they choose a tomato. And without an opportunity to sample products in store, consumers look to color as a signal for quality.
From surface to center, De Ruiter’s® FULLRED series of tomato varieties deliver consistent crimson-red color that looks as good as the tomato tastes. This FULLRED color is featured in several De Ruiter® varieties that will keep consumers coming back for more.
