Orange Banana Paste Tomato - Organic

×
seeds
Solanum lycopersicum
(85 days) Open pollinated. Indeterminate. We never would have believed that the best tomato sauce comes from an orange tomato. But the proof is in the eating and Orange Banana has been a perennial winner of our annual paste taste-offs. Comments from tasters include, “the best flavor and sweetness yet, wow!” and “gourmet candlelight.” No wonder Banana became a staple of Fedco board member David Shipman’s famous tomato sauces.

Its sprightly sweet flavor, reminiscent of Sungold but with more depth and diverse tones, makes an ambrosial sauce by itself and adds a vivid fruity complexity to any sauce with other tomato varieties. Erica Myers-Russo in CT grows it exclusively for drying. She claims it “makes the sweetest dried tomatoes ever.” Attractive cylindrical orange fruits 3–4" long average 4–5 oz. Susceptible to blossom-end rot. Originally offered by Moscow seedswoman Marina Danilenko in the 1996 Seed Savers Yearbook.
