Talavera Native

From the Philippines. Small plants produce large, pink beefsteaks that are sweet with just a hint of acid. Thin skin, soft flesh and a good ratio of meat to gel makes for a great mouthfeel. Like many of the most delicious tomatoes, Talavera Native is only moderately productive but given the small size of the plant, the six or so fruit I picked seemed like a generous bounty. Great for slicing, salsas and fresh eating. A nearly perfect tomato.
