Black Prince Tomato
Origin: Russia
Item #: TOM008
The Black Prince Tomato is
known in Russia as "Czerno Prinz Tomat" and next to the Black Krim Tomato,
this is among the most popular and best known of Black Tomatoes. This outstanding
tomato variety was originally introduced from Irkutsk, Russia (in Siberia)
some years ago and is typically regarded as a true Siberian tomato variety
due to its outstanding qualities in northern climates. Although the Black
Prince could be considered a rare heirloom tomato in the United States
and the United Kingdom, this tomato is widely raised in Russia and is regularly
sold commercially by some of the larger vegetable seed companies in Russia
today. In fact, its cultivation is so widespread in Russia that of late,
a company in Volgograd has begun the marketing of a product called "Black
Prince Tomato Oil", which is an extract of the Black Prince Tomato. This
product is now being widely applied in Russia's food, cosmetics, agricultural
and pharmaceutical industries and has been tested to have a wide range
of health benefits due to the abundance of lypocene in this Russian tomato.
Black Prince produces an abundance of medium sized red-brown tomatoes with
dark brown (black) shoulders that features a rich, juicy taste. In fact,
in a recent tomato taste test performed by Country Living Magazine, the
Black Prince Tomato ranked as the #8 tomato in their taste test. Black
Prince is a great tomato for your northern garden this year! Indeterminate.
Matures in about 70 days.
