About Red Fig
The Red Fig tomatoes have been grown in America since the 18th century. An heirloom tomato named for a sweet delicacy that was made with this tomato and popular in the mid-1800s. Historically they were dried and packed away for winter use in substitute for figs. Big leafy, indeterminate, regular-leaf tomato plants yield hundreds of 1 1/2-inch, pear-shaped, bright-red cherry tomatoes that have wonderful, delicious, sweet flavors with a very sweet skin, making this a delightful snacking tomato. Red Fig is a tasty and colorful complement to Beam’s Yellow Pear. A perfect choice to serve in a tomato salad or as a tasty decoration to culinary creations and to use for making a delicious tomato chutney. Rare tomato seeds.
