Tomato – Mango Lassi (Organic)
£2.20 Add to basketTomato – Mango Lassi (Organic)
Extremely productive red cherry tomato bred for its fine flavour. We consider this a farm-original variety as we have done extensive improvement on the original. We have been stabilising the line for 5 years and it’s now ready to send out into the world!
The plants have been selected each year for the best flavour and excellent productivity. Despite the name, the fruits don’t taste of mango – Mango Lassi was named after a volunteer’s impression of the flavour, and the name has stayed. We hope you enjoy it. We would appreciate any feedback you have on it.

Reaching up to 17cm in length and 3-4 cm in diameter, it is a sweet, bright orange, blunt, cylindrical root, round at the top and bottom. It has fine texture and delicate flavour with almost no core. It is ideal for early sowings but can delight you with a tasty crop throughout the year as well.

It has a crunchy texture and pleasantly sweet taste, the purple pigmentation is attributed to a higher levels of the potent antioxidant ‘anthocyanin’ alongside the usual beta carotene that orange carrots offer.
