The tomato 'Lycopersicon esculentum', also known as 'rose tomato', is a traditional variety in vallesan orchards that has been recovered in recent years and is also cultivated in other parts of the country. Montserrat tomato is a delicate vegetable with low productivity, of great caliber, quite empty inside, with little pulp and pink external color, which is pumpkin-shaped, with rounded and soft ripples. It has a slightly sweet and refreshing taste. Since it has little pulp, it is ideal for eating raw, in salads and other cold dishes.

Tomatoes are rich in vitamins A, C and K and minerals such as potassium and iron. They also provide fibre, water and antioxidants and benefit cardiovascular health by reducing cholesterol and blood pressure. They strengthen the immune system, eyesight, skin and digestion, as well as having a diuretic and antioxidant effect that combats cellular ageing.
