How do you grow Yellow Snack Tomatoes?
The Makkelijke Moestuin app explains step-by-step how to sow, grow, and harvest them:
Tomatoes are true summer veggies and take a long time to grow from a seed into a plant with ripe tomatoes. Too long for our climate. Plus, the seeds only germinate around 21°C and the plants absolutely can't handle frost.
That's why you start them indoors around the end of March and plant them in your bed around the end of May.
Pre-sowing works best in small air pots with MM pre-sowing mix. This way, they don't take up too much space and get just enough nutrients for the initial growth.

To help your plants grow well, put them in full light but not warmer than 20 degrees. Turn them a quarter turn every day to prevent them from growing crooked, and keep the mix moist.
A month after sowing, transfer the plants to a larger pot with just mix. This way, the plants can develop extra roots, get fresh nutrients, and will grow even better:

At the end of May, let your pre-sown tomato plant get used to the outdoor air and plant it in a spot by the trellis. Once it starts growing well, tie it to the trellis.
Trim the side shoots (suckers) that grow in the leaf axils as soon as you see them, because they take a lot of extra energy from the plant.
You'll soon see the first clusters of flowers, and to harvest as much as possible later, sprinkle some extra MM-plantfood (30 ml or 2 tablespoons) around the base of the plant every 4-5 weeks. The app will remind you to do this.
Additionally, water regularly and remove weeds and ugly leaves. That’s it.

Around July, the first tomatoes will start to ripen. In warm sunny weather, they ripen faster, while in cooler weather, it takes longer.
These tomatoes taste best when they're fully ripe but still firm. If you leave them hanging too long, they'll become soft and mealy. So, try to find the right timing.
Pick the deep yellow ripe tomatoes off the plant: the stem breaks off easily. Or use scissors to cut them from the stems.

What do you need?
Besides the seeds, for pre-sowing you need this:
- MM pre-sowing mix
- MM air pots (both the small and larger size)
- clear kitchen wrap
When the plant can go outside, you need this:
- a 30x30 cm plot
- Makkelijke Moestuin mix
- a spot with at least 8 hours of sunlight per day
- MM-trellis or something similar to guide the plant upwards
Zijn Gele Snacktomaten gezond?
Yes, super healthy. They contain vitamins C, A, B1, B2, B6, and B11 (folic acid). Plus, they have potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium, and are packed with fiber: great for digestion.
Yellow tomatoes have slightly different antioxidants than red ones. They have less lycopene but more beta-carotene and anti-inflammatory flavonoids like quercetin and rutin. The latter supports the strength and elasticity of blood vessels.
To get the most benefit, it's better to eat the tomatoes cooked rather than raw, as heating helps your body absorb these substances better. Unfortunately, a lot of vitamin C is lost in the process.
So, eat tomatoes both raw and cooked in warm dishes to get all the benefits.

Beezy explaines: "Tastier than I thought: sweet, spicy, and aromatic with a real tomato flavor and a tiny bit of tartness that makes it refreshing. Very special 😋"
They're also great in salads or as a fresh addition to dishes.
Heating them makes them softer, more intense in flavor, and even sweeter: perfect for soups, sauces, or stews.
