Every August, the town hosts the &#8220;Day of the Minusinsk Tomato,&#8221; a festival where growers compete to weigh in the largest tomato (often exceeding 4-5 lbs). Varieties bearing the &#8220;Minusinsk&#8221; name are highly prized among Russian heirloom collectors for their hardiness and exceptional flavor.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83c\udf45 Quick take: Minusinskie Shary (Minusinsk Globes) is a red, indeterminate heirloom from the famous Minusinsk region in Siberia.
