San Marzano Tomato Seeds (Indeterminate)
★ Organically grown on our farm ★
San Marzano tomatoes are known for their beautiful, vibrant red fruit, which stands out both visually and in terms of flavor. One of the distinct characteristics of San Marzano tomatoes is their low moisture content, meaning they contain little to no juice. This makes them particularly well-suited for creating rich, concentrated sauces and hearty soups, as the lack of excess liquid allows for a more intense and robust tomato flavor.
Another reason San Marzano tomatoes are highly favored is their sweet taste and low acidity. This balance creates a pleasant, mild flavor profile that enhances dishes without overwhelming them. Their sweetness and reduced acidity make them a versatile ingredient in a variety of culinary applications, from classic Italian pasta sauces to more inventive, modern recipes. Because of their unique flavor and consistency, San Marzano tomatoes often become the star ingredient, elevating the overall taste of the dish.
In addition to their culinary benefits, San Marzano tomatoes are also appreciated by gardeners due to their indeterminate growth habit. This means that the plants continue to grow and produce fruit throughout the growing season, leading to a bountiful yield. The plum-shaped variety of San Marzano tomatoes is particularly notable for its thick flesh and minimal seed content, further contributing to its desirability for cooking. Overall, the combination of their exceptional taste, cooking properties, and productive growth makes San Marzano tomatoes a top choice for anyone looking to create delicious, tomato-based dishes.

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.
