Details
This bi-colored heirloom tomato is a vigorous and abundant producer, offering a delightful array of medium-sized fruits, each weighing around 12 ounces. The tomatoes are slightly flattened and captivate with their pale-yellow color, accentuated by delicate, light red striping. They are not only visually appealing but also pack a deliciously rich flavor. The overtones of tropical fruit mixed with subtle hints of lime make these tomatoes uniquely flavorful. The nuances of tropical fruit make them particularly well-suited for simple salads or slices, where they can be savored with just a drizzle of dressing. The unique combination of appearance, flavor, and texture makes this heirloom tomato a standout choice for anyone looking to add something special to their garden or kitchen.
