Sweetloom F1 is a unique tomato variety that has been nominated for the prestigious Fresh Market Award 2025. This recognition is given to the most innovative products that stand out for their quality, unique features, and potential to influence trends in the fruit and vegetable trade.

Bred by Yuksel Seeds, Sweetloom F1 combines exceptional fruit aesthetics, outstanding flavor, and above-average nutritional properties, making it a product with the potential to revolutionize store shelves and consumer preferences.


Exceptional appearance and coloration

Sweetloom F1 fruits have a characteristic purple-black color, which immediately captures consumers’ attention and stands out against traditional raspberry or red tomatoes.

  • Fruit weight: 220–240 g

  • Shape: slightly flattened, fleshy

  • Skin: smooth, visually attractive

  • Interior: intensely red with optimal juice content

Thanks to its distinctive color, Sweetloom F1 fits perfectly into the growing trend of consumers seeking premium and “Instagrammable” products, which are not only tasty but also visually impressive.


Flavor and nutritional value

Sweetloom F1 impresses not only with its looks but above all with its flavor. The fruits are characterized by a rich, harmonious taste, combining delicate sweetness with a touch of acidity – exactly what consumers expect from raspberry-type tomatoes.

Additionally, the variety is a natural source of anthocyanins and lycopene:

  • Anthocyanins are responsible for the dark fruit color and act as powerful antioxidants, helping protect the body from oxidative stress.

  • Lycopene is a natural carotenoid, beneficial for cardiovascular health and known for its anti-cancer properties.

As a result, Sweetloom F1 can be described as a superfood – a product that combines exceptional taste with proven health benefits.

Sweetloom F1 fruits maintain excellent post-harvest durability, making this variety highly attractive to producers and distributors:

  • long storage life,

  • In long-cycle cultivation, grafting and truss regulation to four fruits are recommended.

  • The plant has short internodes and small, intensely green leaves, which support optimal crop management.

  • It enters the ripening stage early, allowing for faster market introduction.

Resistance profile:

Thanks to these traits, the variety offers stability in yields and security in production.
