News. The "superpomodoro" 
E 'for some months now appeared on the Italian market a very special variety of tomato that contains a higher percentage of 50% of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant able to counteract the aging of cells and 'onset of cancer and some degenerative diseases and cardiovascular diseases. This would, according to Coldiretti, derived from a variety of natural breeding without the use of GMO technology. Researchers at the Institute of Biomolecular Chemistry of CNR in Naples would in fact succeeded in getting the "superpomodoro" breeding tomato varieties with black inbreds San Marzano through natural pollination, resulting in a product whose nutritional characteristics would prove superior to any other hybrid on the market. Among the other features that make this variety particularly interesting from a commercial standpoint, there would be appealing the form of the berry, the average size (about 70 grams) which is particularly suited to sales and the ability not to disperse the lycopene content during cooking , highlighted by laboratory experiments. This latter feature, in particular, would make the "superpomodoro" particularly suitable for processing by the canning industry.
difficult to assess how these characteristics are actually beneficial and how much dictated by commercial propaganda. What is certain is that the agricultural and canning industries are focusing not just on this product, whose initial costs of cultivation are particularly high compared with those of other varieties. In the meantime, expect the berries arrive on our tables to evaluate their effects on our palate, perhaps next to a juicy slice of mozzarella and some basil leaves.
