Have you ever heard of brown tomatoes? We hadn't until we read the Trader Joe's flyer. We decided to try kumatoes. They really are brown. They really are very sweet - and delicious.

They have a higher fructose level than other tomatoes. The cultivation and distribution are highly controlled by the owner of the patent. Read more here, here, and here.
