Black Krim Tomato

Catalog #0662 Photo and description retrieved from: http://www.seedsavers.org/onlinestore/tomato_3/Tomato-Black-Krim.html

(Solanum lycopersicum) (aka Black Crimea) Found in Krim, Russia in 1990 by Lars Olov Rosenstrom of Bromma, Sweden. Beefsteak fruits are a unique combination of violet-brown and purple-red—they turn almost black with sufficient sunlight and heat. Excellent full flavor. Indeterminate, 70-90 days from transplant.

Reviews from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds customers.

I love this tomato! Excellent flavor, color and disease resistant and it produced generously. I highly recommend it. It is quite watery though, and so it's not suited for making sauces or drying. But you can just slice them, drizzle with olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt, and enjoy!

I don't really like tomatoes I grow them for my family. That is until I grew Black Krim I eat them like an apple in the garden the flavor is very complex, it's productive, disease resistant, and very pretty. Black Krim will always have a place in my garden.

I have been planting tomatoes for 35 years and try new heirlooms every year; but if I could only plant one variety this would be it. It was love at first bite! Retrieved from: http://www.rareseeds.com/black-krim-tomato/?F_Keyword=black%20krim%20tomato
