Pineapple tomato: The sweet summer treat you need to try

Summer smells like greenhouse tomatoes and delights with the harvest of vegetables from balcony cultivation. One of the underrated varieties is the pineapple tomato. Don't hesitate to put them in your basket when you see them at the market.

If you think pineapple is just a fruit, this tomato will surprise you. The pineapple tomato is a true gem among tomatoes; many people haven't even heard of this variety. It's a real treat for food lovers because you can eat it like an apple. It also works great in salads and sandwiches, so it's worth adding to your shopping list.

The world of tomatoes is exciting and diverse, with up to 7,000 varieties. However, this does not mean that all of them are in use, as we cultivate only a small part. The most popular are the raspberry tomato and the oxheart tomato, but the pineapple tomato also deserves attention.
