Interesting, Galina, are you actually saying that different coloured tomatoes will therefore have different nutrients? I would have thought, with no knowledge, that the 'eating the rainbow' advice was aimed at helping you therefore eat a range of different veg Same veg with different colours can't give you the same range of nutrients, surely?

Yes, that's right. There is a nutritional difference between yellow and red tomatoes. Recently we have also got purple tomatoes (for example Indigo Rose) we can buy seeds for and that brings an extra group of nutrients (anthocyanin) in tomato package. And green-when-ripe (Green Zebra etc) tomatoes have yet another nutrient content. A multicolour tomato salad is nutritionally superior to a uniform red tomato salad
I'm too much of a traditionalist............they have to be red for me........fleshy and not too sweet...........I grew some Black Russian this year and I haven't eaten one...they looked revolting.........but then again: "its each to their own"

Suncherry Premium F1 is about as good as they come in my book, excellent production and healthy plants too. They are certainly on a par sweet-wise but, though they taste great, they don't quite have the same tang combination as Sungold. I find Sweet Aperitif are also excellent as are Piccolo F1 and Floridity F1, which for me, are all way up there as must grows.I've not tried Pink Charmer, but I'll keep a look out for some seeds, thanks for the tip.
