What is miniRaf?
A real Raf tomato delicacy, but in a smaller size. An explosion of flavour in just one bite.
And it is not a hybrid, nor an invention of pepeRaf, it has been with us from the beginning, since it comes from the same plants as its older brother.
The miniRaf is an authentic Raf tomato, only smaller in size, and this happens when the fruit is the last of its bunch, and especially when the plant ages and the fruits in the crown can no longer grow larger.
When is the best time for miniRaf?
In fact, it is a tomato that is produced throughout the Raf tomato campaign, except that from February onwards it becomes a spectacular piece of flavour and texture.
When the cycle of the Raf tomato plant ends, it has already produced more than 70% of its production and only the fruits on the top of the plant remain. Now only 20-25% of the total will be able to produce the “G” size (the normal ones), leaving the rest in a mini size.
However, what many of you don't know is that these miniRaf tomatoes are able to absorb more sugar than their older siblings, as they are alone on the plant and without competition.
Exceptionally sweet
Mini Rafs can contain more sugar than a normal-sized Raf tomato. But be careful, this only happens in natural varieties. Hybrids are not capable of this.
They are natural
Our Rafs are natural, and so are the miniRafs. They are the same tomato, the same plant… only their size changes.
Different
They are not the standard size, and that makes them special. You will be able to prepare unique dishes and stand out from the rest.
And the price?
It's a question of history and sales standards. We believe they should be worth the same, but... Take advantage.
