On the heels of Lipman’s Crimson Queen tomato, the tomato producer is now adding the attributes of crimson tomatoes into all of its varieties – round, roma, grape, and heirloom.

This crimson characteristic is what gives these tomatoes their rich, deep-red color. In addition, it raises levels of lycopene, which is known to have health benefits and increases the flavor and shelf life of tomatoes.

“Our customers love the Crimson Queen, which is our largest-volume fresh market product,” said Darren Micelle, Chief Operating Officer for Lipman. “Because of crimson’s popularity with our clients, as well as the benefits of lycopene, we decided to add the characteristics into all of our tomatoes.”

Micelle says the company is able to take on this task because of its robust R&D team, which is constantly analyzing feedback from customers and developing products that meet their needs.
