Black Krim is a medium-sized, very dark maroon beefsteak tomato with brown/green shoulders that get darker with more heat and sunlight. It has a wonderfully rich flavour and originated in Crimea, a peninsula in the Black Sea.
Pineapple tomato has beautiful yellow and red striped fruits that show the same colours inside when you cut them open. The fluted flesh has a flavour that is rich and sweet and the meat inside has few seeds and more solids. The strong vines producing an abundant crop of very large tomatoes, up to 900 g each.
Green Zebra’s skin is bright green with lime yellow stripes and has very rich tasting, sweet and valvety flesh with a sharp bite. It is ripe just as the green fruit develops a yellow blush, accentuating the darker green stripes. It is known as a modern heirloom.
