One full 1kg (2.2lbs) bag of fresh frozen certified organic small cherry tomatoes from Japan. These tomatoes are organically cultivated with fertilization methods that maintain a natural balance between the producers and the environment. No chemical pesticides are used, rather the soil and crops are protected from disease by natural probiotics including lactic acid bacteria and Bacillus bacteria. Absolutely no flavorings, sugar, preservatives, colorings, or any other additives are used. Enjoy as is and stock some in your freezer for fresh and tasty organic tomatoes whenever you want.
These cherry tomatoes range in size from about 1.5-2.5cm in diameter (1/2" to 1"). Their bite-sized form means they thaw quickly and can be enjoyed straight out of the freezer with no cutting necessary. Great for a healthy snack any time of the day. The fresh, balanced flavor and juiciness will keep you constantly coming back for more. The tomatoes can also be used in salads, pasta sauce, and any other dishes that you enjoy tomatoes in.
We also offer full-size Italian tomatoes that are recommended for use in cooking, as well as larger cherry tomatoes that offer a sweeter flavor.
About Certified Organic
This product is certified Japan Agricultural Standard Organic (JAS). Japan has one of the world's strictest organic certification standards. But what does certified organic mean when it comes to fruits and vegetables?
✔ Strictly tested for E Coli, coliforms, molds, yeasts as well as listeria and salmonella and therefore meets very high microbiological safety standards.
✔ Free of harmful synthetic chemical inputs such as fertilizer, pesticides or any food additives.
✔ Free of genetically modified seeds (non-GMO)
✔ The farmland and soil in use are free of any chemical treatments.
✔ Organic produce is heavily regulated. Producers and importers are checked and inspected by governmental bodies or certified third parties. Organic certification requires detailed bookkeeping and documentation for 100% traceability. "Certified organic" is a protected phrase and the use is legally restricted.
✔ Organic farming is more sustainable when it comes to holistic food production. The lack of harmful pesticides is better for the environment.
✔ Organic produce comes mostly from family-owned farms that own smaller acres of organic land.
It is also important to mention that organic produce is more cost-intensive. Organic farming has lower yields compared to conventional farming and is oftentimes more labor-intensive as well. Additionally, organic certification and audits require annual fees for producers, exporters, and importers resulting in higher prices for the end consumers.
Please note that non-GMO and chemical-free produce will often have a minor degree of defects; these may include individual differences like slight deformities, discoloration, and under/over ripeness. In rare cases there may be insect damage, scratches, or mold which cannot be seen during inspections. However, these are not harmful and can simply be removed. Thank you for your understanding.
