OTHER: Black Krim is an open pollinated indeterminate Crimean tomato. The fruit is quite pretty, varying in degrees of ribbing & color, with shades of deep maroons & purples to nearly black, with the coloration being darker in hotter, sunnier conditions. The beefsteak type tomatoes are large at 4 - 8" across & weighing in at 10 - 16 oz up to 1 1/2 pounds each. Black Krim tomatoes are sweet & juicy, have low acidity, & a very good flavor that is all its own. Many who have tried this heirloom rank it amongst their very favorites & would not miss a season without them. The strong plants produce a good yield, & are very heat tolerant.
Tomatoes have a wide variety of health benefits. They are high in the antioxidant lycopene, & contain high amounts of vitamins A, B, & C as well as many other vitamins & minerals.
Tomatoes can be eaten fresh like a fruit, added to salads, in salsa, or sliced for sandwiches. They can be cooked in any number of ways like grilled, fried, baked, or stewed, made into tomato bisque, added to stews, mixed veggies, or pretty much anything :) Of course without tomatoes, there would be no ketchup or red sauce for pizzas & pastas. Tomatoes can be stored by freezing, canning, or drying them.
Tomato plants are either considered to be determinate or indeterminate. What’s the difference? The fruit of determinate plants all mature at nearly the same time. Indeterminate plants continue to grow & produce fruit until frost.
