Mutant tomato harvested in Kyoto
26 Jul 2006
A mutant tomato with a face resembling a Chinese lion mask was harvested from a field in the city of Yahata in Kyoto prefecture. The common momotaro tomato is 3 times the normal size, measuring 10 cm in diameter and weighing 150 grams.
The unusually long rainy season is believed to have caused the fruit to absorb too much moisture.
The surprised farmer, who has been raising tomatoes for more than 30 years, says, “It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a tomato with a fully formed face.”
No word yet on how it tastes.
