Black Krim Tomato

Black Krim tomato is a medium to large-sized heirloom tomato variety that is known for its unique dark color and rich, smoky flavor. It is believed to have originated in the Crimea region of Russia and was introduced to the United States in the 1990s.

Black Krim tomatoes have a dark purplish-red to black color with a slightly irregular shape and a slightly flattened appearance. They have a thick, juicy flesh that is meaty and rich, with a smoky flavor and a hint of sweetness. The skin of Black Krim tomatoes is relatively thin and delicate, making them prone to cracking in wet conditions.

Black Krim tomatoes are often used in salads, sandwiches, and as a garnish for various dishes due to their unique color and flavor. They are also popular for making sauces, salsas, and other cooked dishes due to their meaty texture and rich flavor. They are typically in season from mid-summer to early fall and can be found at farmer's markets, specialty stores, and some grocery stores.

Black Krim tomatoes are a good source of vitamins A and C, potassium, and dietary fiber. They are also high in antioxidants, which can help protect the body against disease and promote overall health.
