Tomato

The pineapple tomato is a variety of tomato known for its sweet, tangy flavour and juicy flesh. This plant is packed with health benefits, including vitamins (A, C, K), antioxidants and minerals. The pineapple tomato can be used in a wide range of dishes: in salads, sauces, stuffings and jams. Its bright yellow colour brings a touch of sunshine to your dishes, and its delicate flavour will delight the taste buds of even the most discriminating gourmets.

To grow pineapple tomatoes in the vegetable garden, it is best to sow them indoors in March-April, then plant them out in the open ground after the last frost. It is important to choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil rich in organic matter. It is advisable to stake the plant so that it can develop properly and limit the risk of disease.

Taking care of the pineapple tomato requires some attention, in particular regular but moderate watering to prevent root rot. It is also advisable to use a fertiliser rich in potassium to encourage fruiting and the formation of beautiful tomatoes. It is important to keep an eye on the presence of pests and diseases, intervening quickly if necessary to preserve the health of the plant.

The pineapple tomato harvest period generally runs from July to September, depending on the region and weather conditions. We recommend that you pick the tomatoes when they are fully ripe, pulling them lightly to remove them from the plant. Pineapple tomatoes keep well after harvesting, and can be eaten fresh or tinned for year-round enjoyment. Growing pineapple tomatoes in the vegetable garden is therefore an excellent way to enjoy delicious home-made tomatoes, rich in flavour and nutrients.
