Introducing: German Pink - Heirloom Tomato

This is the German Pink Tomato, weighing in at 1 pound 2.8 ounces of heirloom tomato awesomeness.

Seed supplier, Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company describes German Pink as, "One of the tomatoes that originally ignited the heirloom movement in America, this variety originated in Bavaria. It made its U.S. debut in 1883, brought here by Michael Ott, a great-grandfather of Seed Savers Exchange co-founder Diane Ott Whealy. The luxuriant potato-leaf plants give high yields of 1- to 2-lb, nearly seedless meaty fruit. The prestigious Slow Foods USA Ark of Taste enthused: “a full sweet flavor, even floral, and...tender skinned.” This gorgeous pink fruit is extremely versatile, excellent for canning and freezing but also for slicing and juicing. This one is sure to become a favorite in your garden!"

There is a reason I have grown German Pink for 4 years now. Each year we get several German Pink tomatoes that exceed 1 pound, along with many more that are smaller in size. I find the flavor description supplied by Baker Creek to be an accurate one. I love the all around versatility of this tomato and it is a favorite for "Mater sammich" making. I also use it in sauces, salsas and I dehydrate slices for yummy winter sandwiches that explode with great tomato flavor.
