Description

The Rio Grande Tomato is a classic plum/paste tomato that gets along with heat, humidity, and drought, but that’s only one of its maravilloso qualities. The plant produces muchos bright red, egg-shaped fruits with a flavor that’s well-balanced between dulce and acidic. Especially bueno for pastes and sauces, but it wouldn’t mind being chopped up into fresh pico de gallo with a little onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.

  • Heat tolerant
  • Sweet and acidic
  • High yields
  • Good for Southern jardines

These tomatoes are the bomb! Best paste variety ever!

I grew these for the first time this season and am delighted! Very high production despite our central Florida early heat wave (est. 10 pounds on just one plant), healthy, with large, thick walled fruit and few seeds. An excellent cooking variety with little excess liquid. I planted 15 varieties of ...

best canning tomato

I ordered the rio grande againthis year after trying 3 varieties last year to determine which one i liked best for canning. Rio grande was my favorite. The skin slips right off and they dont have alot of seeds in them.Nice big beautiful tomatoes.
