Large Red Round Tomato (Beefsteak / Round Truss) with bright red smooth skin, firm juicy flesh, and rich sweet-tart flavor. Diameter 7.5-9.5 cm, 180-250 g per fruit. Ideal for slicing, salads, and cooking. Cold storage 14-21 days.
Round Tomato is a large red beefsteak variety prized for its uniform bright red color, smooth glossy skin, and rich, juicy flavor. With a firm structure and excellent sugar-to-acid balance, this tomato delivers sweet, pleasant tartness in every bite. Whether you slice it for sandwiches, dice it for salads, or cook it into sauces, this versatile fruit performs beautifully.
Each Round Tomato measures 7.5 to 9.5 cm in diameter and weighs between 180 and 250 grams. The fruit is round or slightly oblate with a deep red hue, free from cracks, blemishes, or green shoulders. Its high flesh density and thick walls mean less seed cavity and more usable tomato, making it a favorite for both fresh and cooked applications.
This tomato offers a rich, classic flavor with a perfect sweet-to-tart ratio. The flesh is juicy and fleshy, never mealy when firm. Its low seed cavity ratio enhances the meaty texture, so slices hold together beautifully on burgers and platters. The balanced taste shines in raw preparations and deepens when roasted or simmered.
Thanks to its size and firmness, Round Tomato is ideal for slicing into thick, even rounds. It also works well for stuffing, grilling, and fresh salsas. Chefs and home cooks appreciate its reliable quality and consistent ripening. Because it resists pressure during transit, it arrives in excellent condition, ready for retail display or immediate kitchen use.
For best results, store Round Tomato at 10°C to 13°C with 85–90% relative humidity. At this temperature, light red or pink stage fruits last 14 to 21 days. At ambient temperatures of 20°C to 25°C, expect a shelf life of 5 to 7 days. Once fully red, the fruit softens quickly, so plan usage accordingly.
This dependable variety combines visual appeal, robust flavor, and practical handling. Whether for fresh markets, food service, or home cooking, Round Tomato delivers consistent quality and customer satisfaction.
