It should be noted that Pridnestrovian breeders managed to create a cherry-shaped purple hybrid at the stage of the technical phase of ripening, and when fully ripe, the fruit acquires a black-red color.
“The color of the fruit of this hybrid is provided by the content of anthocyanins (antioxidants),” the press service of the Ministry of Agriculture of Pridnestrovie reports.
Recall that the Pridnestrovian Research Institute of Agriculture is working on the creation of hybrids of tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, sweet peppers, peas and other crops.
