Growing Tips:

  • Planting: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date. Plant seeds ¼ inch deep in seed-starting mix. Keep the soil moist and warm (70-75°F) until germination.
  • Transplanting: Once seedlings have at least two sets of true leaves and the risk of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors, spacing them 24-36 inches apart in rows 3-4 feet apart.
  • Soil: Black Krim Tomatoes thrive in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-6.8. Amend the soil with compost or organic matter before planting.
  • Sunlight: Ensure full sun exposure (at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily) for optimal growth and fruit production.
  • Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulching can help retain moisture and prevent soil-borne diseases.
  • Support: As a large beefsteak variety, Black Krim Tomatoes benefit from staking or caging to support the heavy fruits and prevent the plants from sprawling.

Harvesting Tips:

  • When to Harvest: Harvest tomatoes when they reach full size and the skin turns a deep purple-brown with green shoulders. The fruit should be slightly soft to the touch.
  • How to Harvest: Gently twist or cut the fruit from the vine, being careful not to damage the plant. Regular harvesting encourages continued fruit production.

Culinary Uses:

  • Slicing: Black Krim Tomatoes are ideal for slicing and adding to sandwiches, burgers, and wraps, where their unique flavor can truly shine.
  • Salads: Add a gourmet touch to your salads by incorporating slices of Black Krim Tomato, along with fresh herbs and a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Caprese: Create a stunning Caprese salad by pairing Black Krim slices with fresh mozzarella, basil, and balsamic glaze.
  • Fresh Eating: Enjoy the complex, smoky flavor of Black Krim Tomatoes by eating them fresh off the vine, lightly seasoned with salt and pepper.

Nutritional and Medicinal Benefits:

  • Rich in Antioxidants: Black Krim Tomatoes are high in lycopene, an antioxidant known for its potential to reduce the risk of certain cancers and heart disease.
