Demand Surges for Lipman's Proprietary Ripe Bites and Crimson Queen Tomatoes
Consumer and foodservice demand is skyrocketing for two of Lipman’s proprietary tomato varieties, Ripe Bites and Crimson Queen, thanks to their high flavor, deep red hue, and high lycopene levels, according to a press release.
“Tomato enthusiasts will be glad to know our spring harvest is strong and plentiful – and we’ll continue to be able to provide plenty of Ripe Bites and Crimson Queen tomatoes throughout the growing season,” said Darren Micelle, Chief Operating Officer. “We’re thrilled to be able to offer a product that meets the needs of both our consumers and foodservice operators.”
Since their launch last year, both Florida-grown varieties have seen a tremendous rise in popularity. Ripe Bites (above), a grape tomato variety, is grown exclusively in Lipman’s Naples, Florida-based retractable-roof greenhouse and consumers love its desirable high-sugar content. Crimson Queen (right), a round tomato variety, benefits from higher lycopene levels, high flavor, durable skin, and long shelf life.Get these delicious tomatoes today!
