Easy Grow Info
About This Tomato
This indeterminate San Marzano-type tomato produces elongated, dense fruits with thick flesh and low moisture, prized for cooking rather than fresh slicing. The firm texture allows tomatoes to break down smoothly into masalas and gravies, creating rich flavor without excess wateriness.
Unlike determinate paste types, indeterminate plants continue growing and producing over a longer season, making them ideal for gardeners who want a steady supply of cooking tomatoes rather than a single large harvest.
Why We Chose This Variety
We selected this indeterminate San Marzano-type for growers who want an extended harvest window and consistent supply of paste-style tomatoes for kitchen use. Its dense flesh, strong productivity, and performance in California-style gardens make it a dependable choice for home cooks focused on sauces and masala-based dishes.
