NatureSweet uses the latest greenhouse growing technologies to grow the best tomatoes in a responsible and sustainable way. Instead of growing tomatoes traditionally in soil, NatureSweet tomatoes are container-grown in coconut husks! Using coconut husks instead of soil means that NatureSweet will use 80% less water than traditional tomato growing methods! Plus, since they are grown in containers, water is monitored, measured, and recycled. Greenhouse growing also allows us to enjoy quality tomatoes all year round because greenhouses can stand up to Mother Nature's mood swings – drought, storms, floods, you name it! Plus, all NatureSweet tomato flowers are pollinated the old fashioned way – by bumblebees.
