Bull Egg Tomato
A tomato with a big heart
The Huevo de Toro tomato is a large tomato, with a heart-shaped or flattened shape, and its weight ranges between 300 to 600 grams per unit, being able to find tomatoes that can be over a kilo. Something very unusual.
Of an intense red color, this is a multilobular tomato, with few seeds and a very fleshy heart, which gives it a creamy and smooth texture in the mouth, with a perfect balance of acidity-sweetness; ideal to mix with salt and a good olive oil.
Nutritionally, it has a high content of vitamin C and antioxidant properties, which help protect us from cardiovascular diseases, cancer and aging. From Agroponiente we offer it to you throughout the winter, an ideal time to take that extra care of our defenses. It is a vegetable with great properties and an exquisite flavor.

Tomato: flavour, health and quality cuisine
Did you know that there are more than 20,000 tomato varieties in the world with unique shapes, colours and aromas? Without a doubt, tomatoes are essential products to have in kitchens due to their versatility. Most of the varieties are red or green, but we increasingly see yellow, orange, pink or even purple tomato varieties in supermarkets. Whichever variety you choose, you will benefit from their many nutritional properties.
Consuming tomatoes helps protect the eyes due to their vitamin A content. It also improves blood circulation due to its vitamin B content and keeps the skin healthy due to its high level of antioxidants such as lycopene, which helps prevent constipation. In short, getting more tomatoes into your diet is a great idea; they contain lots of water and minerals, and they’re low in calories.
At Agroponiente, we market and grow around 20 different tomato varieties, and all of them have a place in quality cuisine and your healthy and balanced diet. So what are you waiting for to discover their different flavours?
