It is considered to be a cherry tomato classic because of its sweet and tangy flavor -"It tastes like a party in your mouth.” Sungolds were developed by Japanese breeder Tokita Seed Company and introduced to American and British gardeners in 1992. Because the tomato seed business is very competitive, hybrid tomato parentage is carefully guarded.
