In celebration of Día de Muertos—also known as Day of the Dead—NatureSweet created a special 10-ounce Día de Muertos Seasonal Medley pack for its cherry tomatoes in festive fall colors. The pack of snacking cherry tomatoes contains a mix of red, orange and yellow colors with a clear clamshell cover and top seal that pays tribute to the traditional Mexican holiday. The on-pack tomatoes sport sugar skull makeup and the playfully personified tomatoes offer directions like "Do not refrigerate. It's too cold in there!" and "Peel here to let us out!"
After washing, these cherry tomatoes are ready for snacking, adding to charcuterie boards or meals that would benefit from a pop of color, extra flavor and nutrition.
