Few tomatoes stop people in their tracks like the Kellogg’s Breakfast Tomato. This glowing golden-orange beefsteak heirloom is legendary among home gardeners, chefs, and market growers for its huge, juicy fruits and deeply satisfying flavor that’s both sweet and rich, with just the right touch of tang. If you’ve been searching for a tomato that delivers in both size and taste, this is it.

When I grow Kellogg’s Breakfast, it feels like the heart of summer itself hangs heavy on the vine. Fruits regularly tip the scales at 1–2 pounds each, their bright orange skin gleaming in the sun. Slice one open, and you’ll find meaty, low-acid flesh that’s smooth and almost creamy—perfect for thick sandwiches, fresh salads, and sauces that glow with color.

🌟 What Makes Kellogg’s Breakfast Special?

• Heirloom beefsteak from West Virginia, beloved for decades.

• Massive fruits that can weigh over 2 pounds.

• Brilliant orange flesh that adds visual flair to any dish.

• Rich, sweet, low-acid flavor that appeals to everyone.

• Reliable producer on strong indeterminate vines.

📜 History & Heritage:
Despite the name, this tomato has nothing to do with the cereal company. The variety was originally grown in West Virginia and popularized by gardener Darrell Kellogg, who passed along seeds of this exceptional orange beefsteak. Its reputation spread quickly among heirloom seed savers, and today it remains one of the most celebrated orange tomatoes in American gardens.

🍴 Culinary Uses:

• Sandwiches & burgers: One slice can cover an entire sandwich.

• Fresh salads: Adds bright, sunny color and a mild sweetness.

• Sauces & soups: Turns dishes into golden-orange masterpieces.

• Roasting & grilling: Caramelizes beautifully for deep, smoky flavor.

• Juice & canning: Sweet, low-acid profile makes for excellent tomato juice.

🌿 Growing Tips (garden-tested):

• Start early: Sow seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost.

• Transplanting: Move outdoors when soil is warm and night temps stay above 55°F.

• Spacing: Allow 24–36 inches between plants; vines need sturdy cages or stakes.

• Soil: Rich, fertile, well-drained soil with plenty of compost is best.

• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy; mulch helps retain moisture.

• Feeding: Fertilize every 2–3 weeks with an organic tomato fertilizer high in potassium and phosphorus.

• Harvest: 80–90 days from transplant. Fruits are ready when skin is a glowing orange and slightly soft to the touch.

💡 Pro Tip: Because Kellogg’s Breakfast produces giant, meaty fruits, thinning early fruit clusters allows the plant to put more energy into fewer, larger tomatoes. You’ll be rewarded with breathtaking slicers worthy of a farmer’s market display.

🌍 Perfect For:

• Home gardeners who want a show-stopping tomato that’s both delicious and beautiful.

• Chefs & food lovers who crave color and complexity on the plate.

• Farmers’ markets & CSA shares where vibrant, unique produce sells out fast.

• Seed collectors & heirloom enthusiasts who value rare, historic varieties.
