Beefsteak Tomatoes
Among the largest tomatoes grown are those in the beefsteak class. Meaty and juicy, beefsteak tomatoes are a favorite for slicing to use in sandwiches and on burgers. The best flavor comes from vine-ripened beefsteaks, but when placed on the counter they will ripen to their final colors: red, orange, pink, dark blue, yellow, green, or black. Choose from organic and conventional, open-pollinated, heirloom and hybrid varieties, all trialed and selected for yield, flavor, appearance, and performance in either field or protected-culture production.
