Tomato, Orange pineapple
Solanum lycopersicum
The tomato "Orange pineapple" is one of our favorite varieties for both taste and appearance. Its flesh is clearly reminiscent of a pineapple slice, with a firm texture, great juiciness, remarkable sweetness and unrivalled flavor. It lends itself particularly well to salads. A late variety, it generally produces fruits weighing around 300 grams.
