Gardeners told us what holds them back from eating tomatoes, so we bred one that fixes it all: A world-first cherry tomato….. 

We help the nation grow over a million tomato plants a year, and we know how much you love tomatoes. Tomato ‘Meltaway F1’ is the first tomato in our top secret breeding programme that has revolutionised what we think of tomatoes… and we’ve been supplying them since 1855!

“Kids and grown-ups love them so”… We all know the flavour and texture of our favourite sweets, well, now you can get it in a tomato. With a gummy texture and melt-in-the-mouth feel, it’s bursting with fruity sweetness and barely a seed in sight!

“It’s remarkable,” says Peter Freeman, New Product Development Manager at Thompson & Morgan. “The texture is soft and gummy, and they taste pure and sweet. Everyone who has tried it in our taste trials went back for another, even those that aren’t fans of traditional tomatoes – it’s a genuine breakthrough in tomato breeding and eating experience.”

All the sweetness, none of the seeds…. Click below to watch the video

Is it a Tomato? Is it a Fruit? Is it a Sweet?
Only YOU decide.
