My first ones came off the production line yesterday and were very tasty ....with or without the salt !

Kumato are the best-tasting tomatoes I've ever had in Australia. Love the colour too.

In terms of planting them yourself, have you ready on that? Are they any different from regular tomatoes?

Have grown my own in pots and although definitely superior to supermarkets they are not spectacular either.

I will try again once I have a proper garden. I reckon they need some deeper soil and more light.
