Tomato seeds were planted in the company’s research demo greenhouse that visited space. The space seeds were transferred to Hungary from NASA’s research project to Schuminszky Nándor, board member of the Hungarian Astronautical Society, who offered the special seeds to the Veresi Paradicsom Kft., where, after professional sowing, they develop and grow under continuous control.
