non-leaking tomatoes?

read this from courier mail.

THE world's first non-leaking tomatoes will go on sale in the UK from tomorrow.

Tesco tomato buyer Emma Pettitt said, “As we all know tomatoes can be tricky to chop and a squirt of juice can easily end up on the kitchen wall or over your shirt.

“The non-leaking variety will stop that problem but without the tomato losing any of its taste."

Ms Pettitt said, “The arrival of the non-leaking tomato may well be heralded by sarnie fans as the best thing to hit the sandwich world since sliced bread.

“(The tomato's) juiciness sometimes means that by lunchtime our lovely salad sarnie resembles a piece of wet cardboard. From now on that will be a thing of the past.”

The non-leaking tomatoes were grown in Holland and are part of a long term tomato seed breeding programme that began in 1986.

After trials using more than 100 varieties the breakthrough came last year when through natural breeding methods the growers developed one that held its shape when sliced, baked or diced.

Tests also showed that when making a sandwich from a standard tomato eight per cent of its weight is lost after slicing it and a further 12 per cent of the moisture seeps into the bread only an hour later.

The performance of the non-leaking variety is significantly better - less than one per cent moisture is lost when the tomato is sliced and only three per cent seeps into the bread 12 hours after the sandwich is made.

find it funny. actually strange... = =+
if the tomoto is not juicy anymore...
how would it taste? what is the texture?
would it be something like apple?

sometimes, don't really know it's good that human always look for the best or actually they are too picky..

anyway, i think it's a good news for making sandwiches and salads.
soggy sandwiches are actually very disgusting :)
haha... no harm to try.
