The Caro Red tomato is a traditional variety introduced by Purdue University in Lafayette, Indiana, in 1958. This tomato is characterized by its bright orange skin and high carotene content , making it not only visually appealing but also nutritionally valuable.

The Caro Red impresses with its sweet flavor, pleasantly rounded off by a slight acidity. The soft flesh is juicy and fresh , making this variety ideal for fresh consumption. Its full flavor is particularly evident in salads.

This easy-care tomato is a high-yielding variety , but due to the size and weight of its fruits, the plant should be well supported . Regular thinning is also recommended to promote growth and ensure a bountiful harvest.

With the Caro Red tomato, you bring a variety into your garden that not only impresses with its easy-care characteristics and its good, juicy taste, but also represents a piece of American breeding history.
