Beefsteak tomato 'Brandywine Prudens Purple'
- Product number: 295240
- Origin: South America
- Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum

The largest tomatoes in our assortment are called beefsteak tomatoes. This tomato owes its name to the larger amount of flesh (instead of juice). This applies to most varieties in this group, with a few exceptions such as the so-called stuffing tomatoes.
