Beef tomato 'Turks Muts'
- Product number: 295535
- Origin: Central America
- Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum
Great "black" beefsteak tomato (actually dark red with a black sheen) that is particularly popular in the US and was probably named by Dutch people (but a grammatical error crept in)... The irregular shape and tendency to form a "butt" are probably responsible for that. The plants grow vigorously and produce abundantly and early!
The largest tomatoes in our assortment are called beefsteak tomatoes. This tomato owes its name to the larger amount of pulp (instead of juice). This applies to most varieties in this group, with a few exceptions such as the so-called stuffing tomatoes.
