The fruits of tomato Kivu have a round shape and a rich red color with a soft sheen on the ribs. The average fruit weight is 250-280 grams when forming 3-4 fruits per cluster.

Inside, the fruits contain juicy, sugary flesh with a pleasant sweet taste and slight acidity, making them especially attractive for salads and fresh consumption.
