Lycopersicon esculentum
86 Days
An old time favorite extra large, meaty tomato, ranging from 15-25oz, and bursting with old fashioned flavor. The deep red tomato is flat and solid with very few seeds, making it a good choice for recipes that call for chopped, drained tomatoes, or for a big, juicy addition to your sandwiches. One of the most beautiful tomatoes grown today. Fruits grow deep red. This beefsteak variety is elegantly tasty with a nice sweetness that compliments most dishes. An all time favorite with gourmet grocers and chefs.
