Tomato Principe Borghese Seeds Perfect for Sun-Dried Tomatoes 🍅🌞
Tomato Principe Borghese is an heirloom variety prized for its meaty, plum-shaped fruits with pointy ends, perfect for sun-drying and processing. These cherry tomatoes are borne in clusters, have little juice, few seeds, and a rich, concentrated flavour, making them ideal for drying, sauces, and preserving. The determinate vines produce an abundant crop and benefit from support to handle the weight of the clusters of tomatoes.
In dry areas, you can even hang branches of these tomatoes to dry naturally until they reach a leathery texture, giving you a traditional sun-dried tomato experience straight from your garden.
