NatureSweet unveiled a refreshed Glorys cherry tomato on May 20. The new Glorys are sweeter but still excel in all the previous traits, according to the company, which adds that the new variety also boasts disease resistance.
“Our journey to find a sweeter cherry tomato variety began in 2022, leading us to a dozen countries where we sampled fruit from a range of seed companies,” Gilberto Rojas, NatureSweet’s senior manager of new varieties, said in a news release. “This particular variety stands out for its aromatic richness and exceptional sweetness, scoring high on the Brix scale. Its superior flavor, disease resistance and high yield truly make it a superstar in the world of tomatoes.”
The new, sweeter Glorys provide consumers with another healthy, delicious option, offering high levels of vitamins A and C, with fewer than 50 calories per serving, the company says.
“This is one of the sweetest tomatoes our sensory panel has ever tested,” said Julieta Ramírez, NatureSweet’s manager of sensory evaluation, who leads a department dedicated to identifying optimal varieties for all NatureSweet produce. “What’s even more exciting is that consumer testing confirmed this excellence, with Glorys earning top scores in key categories, highlighting its broad appeal.”
