Black Krim tomato represents one of the most celebrated heirloom beefsteak varieties, prized by discerning gardeners and professional chefs alike for its extraordinary depth of flavor and striking appearance. This Russian heirloom produces indeterminate vines reaching 36 to 48 inches, yielding abundant 8- to 12-ounce fruits with a distinctive dark maroon-purple skin accented by characteristic green shoulders. The dense, meaty flesh delivers a complex flavor profile—rich, smoky, and subtly salty—that intensifies as fruits mature under heat exposure, developing deeper color and enhanced sweetness. The flattened globe shape and substantial size make Black Krim exceptional for slicing into thick steaks for gourmet sandwiches, while the meaty texture and low seed content render it equally outstanding for fresh salads and juicing applications. The unusual dark red-to-black coloration with reddish-black flesh creates visual drama on the plate, explaining its growing popularity in upscale restaurants and farmers' markets seeking distinctive, flavor-forward varieties. These vigorous plants thrive in warm conditions and benefit from sturdy support systems—staking or caging is highly recommended to manage their productive growth. Our non-GMO, heirloom seeds preserve genetic integrity, enabling you to save seeds from superior performers for future seasons. With an 80% or higher germination rate, establishment is reliable and consistent. Packaged in sustainable, reusable materials, Black Krim aligns with eco-conscious gardening practices while delivering the authentic, uncompromising tomato flavor that defines true heirloom gardening.
