Tomates cóctel en invernadero
En un invernadero de tomates cóctel brilla el equilibrio entre dulzor, jugosidad y comodidad de tamaño para un bocado: los tomates cóctel se sitúan entre el cherry y el TOV, ofreciendo un sabor premium a volúmenes intermedios.
El punto medio ideal
En un invernadero de tomates cóctel, con 30–50 g por fruto, el cultivo ofrece una pulpa crujiente y aromática con un sabor a la vez dulce y ácido: un Brix intermedio que los consumidores perciben como “rico y fresco”. Una luz, humedad y riego bien ajustados producen los racimos uniformes que exigen los multipacks del comercio, a 40–55 kg/m² al año.
Como el cherry, el cultivo se cosecha con frecuencia en canales hidropónicos de alambre alto; la uniformidad del racimo es el indicador de calidad que los compradores comprueban primero.
