SAN ANTONIO — NatureSweet, North America’s largest vertically integrated controlled-environment agricultural company and the top snacking tomato brand, is celebrating Día de Muertos, also known as Day of the Dead, with the release of a special 10oz medley of cherry tomatoes in vibrant fall colors.
The Día de Muertos Seasonal Medley features a mix of red, orange, and yellow snacking tomatoes, packaged into a clear clamshell with a festive top seal that honors the traditional Mexican holiday. While Día de Muertos is distinct from Halloween, it is observed around the same time frame, from October 28 to November 2, and share’s themes of remembrance and celebration of life.
“We’re thrilled to pay homage to a joyful occasion where families remember the lives of their ancestors,” says Lori Castillo, Vice President of Marketing at NatureSweet. “With each colorful bite, we hope this vibrant, seasonal medley brings people together to celebrate the beauty of this meaningful holiday.”
