The Runner F1 tomato is a highly productive early large-fruit variety. Its sweet aromatic berries are large, slightly flattened and delight with their wonderful dark red colour. Several clusters of evenly sized tomatoes hang on sturdy petioles. Fleshy Runner F1 tomatoes are firm and do not tend to break. Excellent durability and long shelf life is their yet another asset. They remain edible and great looking even two to three weeks after the harvest. Fruit of this variety weigh 200 to 250 grams on average. Thanks to their firmness, Runner F1 berries can be transported long-distance without compromising their quality. Plants of the presented variety show strong vigour, develop short internodes and dark green, impressive foliage. This tomato is recommended for amateur and industrial growing. Runner F1 tomatoes taste perfectly on sandwiches and in salads. Ripe tomatoes constitute an excellent addition to sauces, soups, and casseroles. Their sweet taste with a hint of sour is by far not their only trait. This vegetable works wonders for your health. Delicious red fruit contain beta-carotene, lycopene, and vitamin C - a great set of anti-cancer and anti-ageing agents. Tomatoes are also considered one of the best sources of easily available potassium.
