The Japanese Black Trifele Tomato offers a deep, rich flavor with smoky undertones, making it a highly sought after heirloom variety. With a juicy, medium size and a distinct pear shape, this 6-8 ounce tomato has vibrant green shoulders and a deep purple-black color. Its unique name comes from the Russian word "truffle," and this variety is prized for its exceptional taste and high demand, often commanding top prices on the market. Growing on a compact, potato-leafed plant, it is a beautiful and delicious addition to any garden.
The skin is smooth and crack resistant and production is huge. Don't over-water and you will be rewarded with flavor that is deep, chocolaty, smoky and rich, just wonderful. Took their picture and ate 'em.
