Description
Solanum lycopersicum
Don’t let the name scare you—this heirloom gem screams to be salsa!
DETERMINATE. One of the weirdest tomatoes we grow—and we all need a little more weirdness in our lives! These tidy plants bear dozens & dozens of 3-4” long, sausage-shaped pale yellow fruits. Unique color creates excellent color contrast with other tomatoes in salsas & on fresh tomato plates, or cook it by itself for a norm-shattering light yellow tomato soup or sauce! Weirdos unite!
Tomatoes are native to northwestern South America and by at least 500 BC they had been domesticated and were being cultivated as far north as modern-day Mexico, enjoyed by Aztec and other civilizations. They spread to Europe and the Caribbean through the Spanish colonizers, where they became staple parts of the food culture in many European countries as well, and their story shifts and changes with each new seed steward.
