Tomato Pineapple seeds Solanum lycopersicumPacket: 20 seeds,1g Named for its shape, not flavour, the Pineapple tomato is a bi-colour beefsteak tomato. Its outer ribbing is reminiscent of a pineapple’s ribbed exterior. The tomato’s size, too, places it in the category of large tomatoes. Pineapple is valued for three standout qualities: Beauty. The pineapple tomato is a very pretty fruit, with a beautiful streaked red and yellow exterior and interior kaleidoscope swirl of red, pink, orange, and yellow. It is a colourful addition to salads and sandwiches. Taste. Known for its excellent flavour, particularly among bi-color tomatoes, Pineapple tomato is mildly sweet with low acidity, somewhat fruity, and includes a hint of citrus. Its flavour improves towards the end of the season. Size. Pineapple tomatoes range in size from 450g to 900g. One seed producer says, “You may be safer holding them in two hands rather than one.” Pineapple tomato has become a valued slicing tomato. Fruit is meaty with few seeds. This is an INDETERMINATE variety and as such, requires a staking or climbing frame.
