Tomato Paste Determinate Viva Salsa produces true pear-shaped, bright red fruits weighing 3 to 4 ounces each. This heat-tolerant hybrid is ideal for warmer climates and offers juicy tomatoes perfect for fresh salsas and salads, while its balanced acidity and viscosity make it excellent for canning and processing. Maturing in about 75 days with a germination rate of 80% or higher, these Non-GMO seeds deliver reliable performance across diverse growing conditions. The pear shape and concentrated flesh of Viva Salsa make it exceptionally efficient for sauce production—you'll get more usable pulp with less water content than round slicing varieties. The determinate growth habit concentrates ripening, allowing you to harvest most fruit within a narrow window, ideal for batch processing or preserving. Heat tolerance means consistent yields even during hot summers when other varieties falter or produce hollow fruit. This hybrid combines the vigor and disease resistance of modern breeding with the flavor profile home gardeners expect. Whether you're making fresh salsa, marinara, or tomato paste, Viva Salsa delivers the acidity and texture needed for quality results. Each packet contains 25 Non-GMO seeds in our sustainable, reusable, and fully recyclable packaging—supporting both your harvest goals and environmental stewardship. Perfect for warm-region gardeners and food preservation enthusiasts seeking a workhorse paste tomato.
