0For their 20th Anniversary and in honor of October being National Tomato Month, Lycored, leading international wellness company, wanted to go BIG. And today, they successfully set the Guinness World Record for the largest display of tomato varieties with 132 different varieties showcased in a creative display in the center of Times Square.
As their mission is to Cultivate Wellness, another highlight of the event was the creation of an heirloom cherry tomato salad, made from over 1,000 pounds of tomatoes. Not only was the salad given out for free as a part of a healthy lunch that also included a whole wheat roll and sun-dried tomato spread, but the brand took it even one step further and donated some of the salad to City Harvest - the world’s first food rescue organization which is dedicated to helping feed nearly 1.4 million New Yorkers struggling to put meals on their tables.
