Desi Girl Tomato
A delicious South Asian tomato variety. Seeds are originally from India and thought to have been developed to lend the classic, yet essential, sour component to South Asian dishes. From a community tomato tasting survey we held, we gathered that these tomatoes are tangy, juicy, meaty and earthy. In general, they are more acidic than sweet and make a great tomato base for a variety of curries and chutneys.
Fruits are only 1-2” in diameter, but the plants are extremely prolific. We named these tomatoes “Desi Girl” as they are similar in size to the Monsanto owned hybrid “Early Girl Tomato.” However, our seed is open pollinated (grown in Petaluma, CA) and distinctly more tart than the early girl tomato. Each Desi Girl tomato plant produces up to 10 pounds of fruit through the season.
As a determinate variety, it will set dozens of flowers at the same time and produce fruit within a 1 month window. Can benefit from a tomato cage although it is not necessary.
