These deep red, plum-shaped tomatoes typically weigh 8-12 ounces and have few seeds, making them ideal for sauces, salsas, and canning.

This heirloom variety is prized not only for its rich flavor but also for its versatility, performing equally well in cooked dishes and fresh salads. Its high yields and dependable performance make it a favorite among gardeners and chefs alike. Whether you’re preserving your harvest for winter or enjoying it fresh off the vine, Amish Paste Tomato delivers exceptional quality and taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTomato\u003c\/strong\u003e - Amish Paste - \u003ci\u003eLycopersicon lycopersicum\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTender Annual\u003c\/strong\u003e Indeterminate.
