Black Krim Tomato
Rich, Bold Flavor from the Black Sea Coast
The Black Krim Tomato is a treasured heirloom from Crimea, known for its deep reddish-purple skin with green shoulders and its intensely rich, slightly salty, and smoky flavor. These large, beefsteak-style fruits are incredibly juicy and perfect for slicing, sandwiches, and salads where their complex taste can shine. Indeterminate and high-yielding, Black Krim thrives in full sun and rewards growers with a unique and gourmet-quality tomato experience.
Grown from the Alliance of Native Seedkeepers seed (Bertie County Seeds).
