Have you heard of Kumato? I am honestly not sure if you pronounce it KumAto or Kumato but I can tell you they are fabulous. If you love tomatoes, imagine a brownish variation that is a bit sweeter (meaning more fructose).
When I first saw them, I thought ‘Great, another genetically modified food’ so before I bought them, I went to the website and it appears they were reading my mind: “Are Kumato® tomatoes genetically modified products? Not at all! Kumato® is the outstanding result of tireless efforts to apply traditional plant breeding techniques and natural cultivation methods.” So, it appears they have been created with genetics involved but not in a lab.
What are your thoughts on the Kumato?

I have never heard of the kumato. How did they cultivate it? I don't really like the color, but if it tastes good, I can live with it! LOL
