November 27, 2014

On Nov. 3, Mastronardi Produce/Sunset announced in a press release that Men’s Health magazine dubbed the “Sunset” “Kumato” the best tomato for men.

Chief Executive Officer of Mastronardi/Sunset, Paul Mastronardi, stated in the press release, “’Kumato’ is one of ‘Sunset’s’ best-selling signature brands. We knew we had found an amazing product years ago because it was so unique looking and great tasting. The ‘Kumato’ is very balanced, not too acidic, with a mysterious and smoky flavor.”

Introduced in 2010, the “Sunset” “Kumato” brand tomatoes have quickly gained notoriety for their unique color, perfect size and well-balanced flavor. These non-GMO verified tomatoes naturally turn a reddish-brown color at their peak ripeness.

In November’s issue, Men’s Health published their picks for the top 100 Best Foods for Men.

The list includes healthy, flavorful and easy-to-prepare products that were all taste-tested by the team at Men’s Health. “Sunset” “Kumato” tomatoes were selected for their sweet and tangy flavor, non- GMO verification and because they can be enjoyed on their own or in a variety of dishes.

“At ‘Sunset’ we search the world for flavor,” said Mastronardi. “We want to ensure that consumers enjoy our tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers as healthy foods that don’t need to be covered in dressings or dips; their flavors are best on their own. Being recognized by Men’s Health for these reasons is a great honor.”

When asked why else should men be reaching for “Sunset” “Kumato” tomatoes, Mastronardi responded that tomatoes are a natural source of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that may help prevent certain diseases, such as prostate cancer.

The month of November, also known as “Movember,” is dedicated to raising awareness for men’s health. Mastronardi said it is the perfect time to pick up a pack of “Kumato” tomatoes and try a new “Sunset” recipe at www.sunsetgrown.com/recipe/tomatoes.
