Discovering the True Potential of Heirloom Tomatoes
We didn't set out to revolutionize tomato soup. We started Tomato Bliss because we love heirloom tomatoes and couldn't find a single product made from them in grocery stores. Each variety we grow, from deep purple Cherokee Carbon to striped Green Zebra, offers something unique.
What began as a quest for flavor has led to an amazing discovery. Bringing biodiversity to tomato soup isn't just creating better flavor - it is creating profoundly nutritious food.
Here are the particulars:
The Center for Human Nutrition Studies at Utah State University (USU) compared our soup to a leading national brand, analyzing 158 different compounds. The findings reveal that Tomato Bliss contains 38 times more brain-boosting compounds, 31 times higher levels of natural anti-inflammatory elements, and complex antioxidant networks that the leading brand does not match.
Why such a dramatic difference? It's simple really - we're letting nature do what it does best. When you grow diverse varieties in living soil, without synthetic inputs, you tap into ancient wisdom that industrial agriculture has forgotten. Each tomato variety contributes its own unique nutritional gifts, creating a symphony of nutrients that work together in remarkable ways.
This isn't about adding vitamins in a lab or engineering a "better" tomato. It's about returning to food's roots, where diversity isn't just beautiful - it's essential for both human and environmental health. The study confirms what we've long believed: the path to better nutrition begins in the soil, through fundamental choices about how we grow food.
At Tomato Bliss, with biodiversity as our guide, we're proving that supporting sustainable farmers yields exceptional nutritional benefits. It's a return to food as nature intended - diverse, vibrant, and full of life.
