Description
Tomato Amish Paste (Solanum lycopersicum) is a legendary 19th-century heirloom variety originally preserved by Wisconsin Amish communities. Renowned for its exceptionally large, heart-to-plum-shaped fruits weighing up to 8–12 ounces, it combines the meaty texture of a paste tomato with the rich, sweet flavor of a fresh slicer. Featuring thick, solid flesh with very few seeds and low moisture content, it yields outstandingly rich, sweet tomato paste, canning sauces, fresh salsas, and thick slices for sandwiches.
