United Kingdom plant nursery has become
first garden centre grows Britain's BLACK tomatoes and they could assist in
fight cancer. The remarkable vegetable which has a jet black skin, is the world’s
first fruit which contain anthocyanins, an antioxidant thought to have a number
of health benefits. Anthocyanins are compounds found in fruits, vegetables and
beverages that some believe can help with diabetes, cancer and obesity. The new
variety is a novelty type intended for home gardens and the market.
Tomatoes strange color stems from
pigments in the skin which develop when exposed to sunlight. Ray Brown, 66
years old, who runs Plant World Seeds, first came across the strange vegetable
when a buyer sent him a mystery package entitled 'black tomato”, disbelieving
the label, he sowed the product and was stunned by the outcome. He said, we are
always looking for something original and nobody has every produced black
tomatoes, the closest they have got are brown ones and orange ones, and people
thought was impossible, we thought it was a hoax. But when we grew them we
realized they nonplus vegetable, which is jet black, and we were absolutely
staggered. This is completely new, as far as i am aware they have never, ever
been grown in this country before.'
I’ve three plants, each containing
twenty tomatoes which have black skins but are red on the inside. This is not
easy for something is totally unusal,
and no one can quite believe what we've got, they keep asking if it's a
joke, or if they're edible. These tomateos are deible, and we’ve eaten lot of
them, have a nice taste and a really exquisite flavour.
