Details
The Ghost Tomato is a truly unique peach-type tomato, distinguished by its lightly fuzzy skin and striking appearance. About the size of a small beefsteak, this variety features golden-yellow flesh with a delicate white blush that sets it apart from other small tomatoes.
Its flavor is as extraordinary as it looks—a delightful berry-like sweetness with an almost "drunken" undertone, making it a one-of-a-kind treat for the palate. The fruit’s soft, velvety skin adds to its charm, providing a tactile as well as visual experience.
The Ghost Tomato is perfect for fresh eating, adding a unique element to salads, or as a conversation-starting garnish. Its small size, distinctive texture, and remarkable flavor make it a standout addition to any tomato collection, ideal for gardeners seeking something truly different and special.
