`Bajaja` balcony tomato - the little space-saver

Don't have your own garden, but still don't want to miss out on fresh, homegrown tomatoes? Then the "Bajaja" cocktail tomato is exactly the variety for you! It is a real space-saver and perfect for the balcony or terrace..

• Taste: Small but mighty! The bright red, round mini tomatoes (approx. 8–10 grams) are crisp, wonderfully juicy, and have a delightfully refreshing, sweet-fruity aroma. Perfect for eating straight from the vine or for the lunchbox.

• Growth: The Bajaja is a so-called balcony or bush tomato. It grows extremely compactly and bushily, usually reaching a height of only 50 centimeters. The best part for you: You don't need to prune it! Just let it grow. It naturally forms a beautiful, dense crown that later dips picturesquely under the weight of the fruit.

• Special features: Its yield is almost unbelievable for such a tiny plant. With good care, a single Bajaja can produce hundreds of small tomatoes over the course of the season (breeders speak of up to 700!). It also ripens very early, so you can start snacking on the first fruits in early summer.

• Good to know: You don't need a garden bed for it at all. A pot with about 10 liters of soil or a standard window box is completely sufficient. It also looks fantastic in a hanging basket, where the countless clusters of red fruit really shine.

Hey, you definitely still have room for a Bajaja! Just give it a flower pot on your balcony table or hang it in a basket. You don't have to prune or stake anything – just water it and snack on hundreds of small tomatoes all summer long!

Things you can do with the Bajaja:

• The ultimate desk & school snack: Forget gummy bears! Just put a little bowl of freshly picked Bajajas on your desk or pack them in the kids' lunchboxes. Because they are so small and have a firm, crisp skin, they won't get mushy in transit and can be eaten in one bite.

• The "toss-in salad" (without any chopping): Don't feel like spending time chopping tomatoes after work? The Bajaja is so tiny that you can toss it whole into your green salad or pasta salad. When you bite into them, the sweet juice bursts right in your mouth – a great experience!

• "Caprese To-Go" party skewers: Planning a summer party or a barbecue? Take a toothpick and skewer a Bajaja tomato, a mini mozzarella ball, and a small basil leaf. Drizzle with a little balsamic glaze and you have the perfect bite-sized finger food, without the tomato juice running down your fingers.

• 10-minute after-work pasta: Toss two or three handfuls of whole Bajaja tomatoes into a hot pan with olive oil and some garlic. Cover and wait 3 minutes until they quietly burst. Add fresh pasta straight from the pot, toss to coat, sprinkle with Parmesan – the fastest and freshest dinner in the world!

• Freeze them for winter: If your Bajaja goes completely wild in midsummer and you can't keep up with eating them: wash the little tomatoes, pat them dry, and freeze them whole in a freezer bag. In winter, you can toss them frozen straight into hot soups or sauces, where they will thaw and cook down instantly!

The Bajaja is nature's healthy 'fast food.' It grows in a pot right next to your lounge chair – all you really have to do is lean over and open your mouth!
