Fried Green Tomato
If you've ever tried making fried tomatoes from your garden-grown crop, you know that not all varieties are created equal when it comes to holding power and flavor retention. That's why this tomato is such an exciting presence in the vegetable garden and on the table. The tomatoes, which turn from lime green to rich golden on the vine (and may be picked in either color), keep their shape and flavor during frying, creating a fresh, tangy bite the whole family will love. It's all about hold for Fried Green Tomato -- holding up during cooking, of course, but also holding on the vine. These 6- to 7-ounce fruits outperform just about any other tomato we've ever grown when it comes to staying fresh and whole on the vine without cracking, getting mushy, or degrading. It's the same firmness that keeps them neatly sliced in the pan, not sprawling out all over the place. (Park Seed Co.)Indeterminate.
