Pineapple Tomato Seeds (Indeterminate)
Pineapple tomatoes, also known as Pineapple Heirloom Tomatoes, are a unique and visually striking variety of tomatoes that are prized for their large size, beautiful coloration, and exceptional flavor. These tomatoes are typically yellow with red marbling, which can create a stunning display on the vine and on the plate. The name "pineapple" refers not to any actual relation to the tropical fruit, but rather to the tomato's appearance and its sweet, fruity flavor that some say has a hint of pineapple-like taste.
Cultivating pineapple tomatoes can be a rewarding experience for gardeners. They thrive in well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter and require full sun to develop their best flavor and color. These tomatoes are indeterminate, meaning they will continue to grow and produce fruit throughout the growing season until the first frost. Because of their size and weight, the plants often need strong staking or caging to support the heavy fruit. Regular watering and fertilization are essential to ensure robust growth and maximum yield.
In the kitchen, pineapple tomatoes are incredibly versatile. Their sweet and tangy flavor makes them perfect for fresh eating in salads, sandwiches, or simply sliced and sprinkled with a bit of salt. They also hold up well in cooking and can be used in sauces, salsas, and even roasted or grilled. The vibrant color and unique taste of pineapple tomatoes can elevate a variety of dishes, making them a favorite among chefs and home cooks alike. Whether you grow them in your garden or find them at a farmers' market, these tomatoes are sure to add a burst of flavor and color to your culinary creations.

How to Save Seeds
Tomatoes are self pollinating, so separate by 50ft is sufficient. Harvest tomatoes when ripe and you can even let them set for a week or so before saving seeds. Once you are ready to harvest simply cut in half scoop out seeds and pulp into a mason jar of water for fermenting. Then seal jar with a lid and place in and warm place out of direct sunlight. After 5 to 7 days of fermenting pour out seeds floating on top of the water along with mold and then pour rest of the good seeds, on the bottom, over a fine mess strainer to catch them. Dry well in fine mesh or paper towels but turn often so they don't stick to paper.
