Desi Girl Tomato Seeds
A delicious South Asian tomato variety. Seeds are originally from India and thought to have evolved over time to lend the classic, yet essential, sour component to South Asian dishes. From a community tomato tasting we held, these tomatoes were determined to be tangy, juicy, meaty and earthy. In general, they are more acidic than sweet and level up typical South Asian tomato based dishes such as rasam, tomato chutney, channa masala and tomato prawn curry…
Fruits are 2-3” in diameter and plants are extremely prolific. We named these tomatoes “Desi Girl” as they are similar in size to the Monsanto owned hybrid “Early Girl.” However, our seed is open pollinated and distinctly more tart than the early girl tomato.
Each Desi Girl tomato plant can produce 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. Do not prune off the lower branches.
Because of how prolific these plants are, we always end up cooking down a bunch of the leftover tomatoes and freezing or canning them to use during the Winter!
These tomatoes were also featured front and center in SF Chronicles best dishes of 2023 thanks to Tacos Sincero and their Tomato Tostada (Ranked #2)
25 seeds per packet.
