Tomato - BEEFSTEAK seeds


Brand new, unopened, 150mg package of Beefstake Tomato seeds. Packaged for 2011.
I exuberantly purchased more than I have room to plant, so rather than let them wait till next year, wanted to pass these on while still fresh.

The beefsteak tomato is one of the largest tomato cultivars, with some varieties weighing in at over 2 pounds (1 kilogram) per tomato. This meaty tomato is grown in a rainbow of colors, from vibrant red to pale yellow to purple-black. Rather than maintaining a perfectly spherical shape as it develops, the beefsteak tomato takes on a decided kidney-bean shape, spreading out to the sides.

The beefsteak tomato has numerous compact seed cavities dispersed throughout it, and the core is practically nonexistent. Because of this, it holds together well when cut, and is well suited for slicing and eating raw.

The beefsteak tomato vine will keep growing and producing fruit for the entire summer season. The beefsteak tomato is one of the slowest-maturing tomatoes, with the largest beefsteak cultivars taking up to 90 days to produce ripe fruit. Typically, the beefsteak tomato vine will continue to produce and set fruit until the first frost.

Tomatoes are so versatile... besides salads and on sandwiches, I chop them up for breakfast - in omelets, or as a side, or get creative and concoct my own dressings and marinades. They're also great in a variety of vegetables to change them up a bit. Experiment - you can never have too many tomatoes! You can also freeze them well..

Enjoy!
