Store your tomatoes at room temperature. The flavor and texture of tomatoes suffer when the fruit is chilled.


Heirloom tomatoes are bred for their flavor and simple preparation best allows that intense flavor to shine through. Tomatoes can be sliced and drizzled with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper or layer slices with basil and mozzarella for a Caprese salad.


Roasted tomatoes have a richer, concentrated flavor.


There are hundreds of salsa recipes to try and most are dramatically improved with the use of heirloom tomatoes. Tomatoes are also the main ingredient in Gazpacho, a cold soup that is perfect for summer.

Great overall tomato :)

by

These are my favorite tomatoes. They are medium sized and easier to grow than the larger beefsteak varieties as they are less sensitive to changing water and weather conditions. They are delicious and are great for sandwiches, salsa and cooking. The plants are very productive as well.

Best Tomatoes!

These are my favorite tomatoes. They produce heavily for me, taste great by themselves, and in everything from sandwiches to salsa to sauce. These have earned a permanent spot in my garden.

Good for BLT's

They are a solid producer, but I do not see the comparison that some people make to Cherokee Purple.
