NatureSweet Launches First Yellow Tomato

SAN ANTONIO, TX, June 3 — Snack time in Texas is a little brighter now with NatureSweet's launch of SunBursts tomatoes. These bitesized, yellow tomatoes are grown specifically for snacking and pack a healthy dose of optimism. The statewide release of SunBursts will give Texans a great way to Snack for Joy!

SunBursts are NatureSweet's sweetest tomatoes yet and serve as a refreshing alternative to salty, fried, or even sugary snacks. Their resealable container and single-bite size make SunBursts a perfect, healthful snack.

"SunBursts add a new flavor dimension to the NatureSweet tomato line," said Bobby Patton, vice president of marketing for Desert Glory, producer of NatureSweet tomatoes. "Specifically developed as a snackable tomato, it imparts an intense and sweet tomato taste that you can pop right in your mouth."

SunBursts are not only bursting with flavor but are also nutrient-rich and naturally sodium free. In addition to being a good source of vitamin A and dietary fiber, these tomatoes are high in vitamin C. Each serving of SunBursts has only 45 calories, which means a whole package can be enjoyed for about 90 calories. Like all NatureSweet tomatoes, SunBursts are allowed to fully ripen on the vine, producing exceptional flavor and consistent quality year-round.

SunBursts are now available at major grocers throughout the Texas, including Albertsons, Brookshire, Kroger, HEB, Randall's, Tom Thumb, United, and Whole Foods.
