Use them while they are fresh to enjoy full benefits of vitamins and antioxidants.

Description
Have you ever wondered why we have the additional choice of “Vine Tomatoes”? Simply, the vine, that is the stalk they grow on, once harvested keeps feeding the tomato with water even though it has been cut from the parent plant. Eventually, when it has given all the moisture it had, wizens up and falls away leaving the fruit still firm. That’s the practical reason, but the other reasons are, they look so pretty and the minty smell when you touch the stalk…..mmmmmm….Enjoy a string or two of these yourself and pop some into your basket.
